Six students from The Wheatley School, part of the East Williston School District, earned the opportunity to showcase their artworks in the prestigious New York State School Boards Association Exhibit.
The annual virtual art exhibit highlights the creativity of students from elementary and secondary schools across the state.
The students selected for the honor are juniors Gillian Roberts and Audrey Rogan; seniors Audrey Chen, Dylan Kaufman and Elyse Yan; and freshman Reagan Dunn. Their works will be featured in the exhibit, which begins on Oct. 20. School board members attending the NYSSBA Convention from Oct. 20 to 22 in New York City will view the student artworks in person, while the virtual art exhibit will accessible online through Dec. 31.
The NYSSBA Exhibit, sponsored by the New York State Art Teachers Association, is designed to celebrate student creativity, and foster an appreciation for the arts among school board members. It also provides students with a platform to see their artwork displayed alongside peers from across the state, encouraging further engagement and inspiration in the arts.
