The opening of Guild Hall’s “Student Art Festival 2021: Past-Present-Future” took place on January 16 in East Hampton. Proud students from East End schools exhibited their visions of “our shared past and an imagined future.”
Entering its 29th year, the Student Art Festival has continued to evolve with the moment. This year the festival introduced the addition of a Remote-School Artist-in-Residence program. Over the past few months, Guild Hall paired several artists to local public schools to develop projects to be exhibited at the festival.
The program connected seven artists — Scott Bluedorn, Megan Chaskey, Jeremy Dennis, Ellen Frank, Cindy Pease Roe, and Almond Zigmund — with over 150 local students, Kindergarten to Grade 12.
The exhibition was curated by Guild Hall’s Casey Dalene and Anthony Madonna. Guests included Amy Kirwin, who joins Guild Hall as Chief Creative Officer on February 1. The Exhibition will runs through February 21.
