Student Art Show The Strange and the Beautiful Now on Display in Baker Gallery
The Baker Gallery in the Walker Fine Arts Center is currently home to The Strange and the Beautiful, an art show comprised of promising student work from both Woodberry Forest and Orange County High School students. The paintings, drawings, mixed media, pottery, and sculptures run the gamut from a traditional still life to an abstract explosion of color, including both “strange” fantastical beasts and “beautiful” self-portraits.
From this group of artworks, two external professional artist/jurors selected a first, second, and third place prize winner for the 2D and 3D categories, as well as seven honorable mentions.
