Lone Star College-Montgomery’s art department will host an
exhibit featuring the work of numerous local high school art teachers, on display beginning Monday, November 2, through Friday, November 20, in the college’s Mary Matteson-Parrish Art Gallery, located in the Performing Arts Center (Building D).

The entire community is invited to the artist reception on Thursday, November 5, from 5-7 p.m., in the same location. The reception is free and refreshments will be served. Besides the reception, guided tours of the art studio spaces will be available for attendees.

 

Robby Wood, art professor and gallery coordinator, has expressed that this is an event for the area schools as well as the community.

 

"We seldom have a way to express gratitude for the innovative work that our high school instructors do with their students," he said. "In a time when many schools are eliminating art from the curriculum, these teachers are working to engage students in creatively thinking and producing high caliber art work."

 

Art teachers from The Woodlands High School, College Park High School, Oak Ridge High School, Conroe High School, Montgomery High School and Magnolia High School will be featured.

 

The Mary Matteson-Parrish Art Gallery is a teaching gallery at LSC-Montgomery, and the presentations and artwork provided are free to the community. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information about this exhibit or the art gallery at LSC-Montgomery, contact Robby Wood at (936) 273-7064, or Charles.R.Wood@LoneStar.edu; or visit LoneStar.edu/montgomery-artgallery.
