Seniors Christopher Beaudoin and Nicholas Cusano each will have their artwork on display as part of the Future Choice 2022 program.
The exhibit will run from March 12-April 3 at the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts in Old Lyme. Hours for the John Sill House are Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., and Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 3:30-7:30 p.m.
“It is so inspiring to see so much beauty, color, light and above all, hope during this challenging time of navigating the pandemic and the current state of the world,” the judges from the Shoreline Arts Alliance wrote. “There were so many strong artworks submitted this year, it was a difficult task to make the final selections. … A few elements we looked for in particular this year included a developed sensitivity toward the materials and process, ability to express an emotion or idea, technical ability, creativity related to concept and execution, and composition with intent. Demonstration of technical skill was abundant. We also saw many strong narrative works and expressive pieces.”
Nearly 200 pieces from students representing various high schools will be represented in the juried art exhibit.
Beaudoin has three pieces; they are called Faded Camera, On the Road, and Reflecting by the Shore. Cusano’s two pieces on display are The Kitchen Place and The Peacock Inn. Cusano, at right in photo, will attend the University of Hartford. Beaudoin has not finalized his college plans.
