Thanks to our Arts Block Grants from the state and partnerships with the Santa Cruz Superior Court and Wild Rose Art Supplies and Custom Framing, we were able to secure a space in which we can display visual art that is created by PVUSD students. This exhibit will be an ongoing display in the new Main Street courthouse which is due to open at the end of February.
A good portion of this new court facility is dedicated to Family law. Therefore, the focus for our art display will be any two-dimensional work that relates to the theme of family or children. To make the display process more streamline, the frames are a standard size and will only accommodate work that is done on a 9 X 12 inch piece of paper. The student work chosen for the display will remain at the courthouse until next fall when it will be replaced with a new set of pictures. At that time the work will be returned to students. Remember that this is a new and exciting program, so we are bound to encounter unexpected challenges as we create our process for this display.
If you would like to be involved in planning the display or if you would like to submit work for our first PVUSD Annual Courthouse Display please contact Susan Megorden, Teacher on Special Assignment for Visual and Performing Arts at susan_megorden@pvusd.net or call 786-2365 x 2566.
