Franklin Student Art Show - March 23

"Artists and art fans in the Franklin, Mass. community will be pleased to find out that a town-wide art show featuring the works of Franklin students is set to be held later this month. 

Ms. Taranto, an Art teacher at Franklin High School, explained that the show was put together by the Art teachers of the Franklin Public Schools district to honor the work created by their students. She also noted that each teacher independently selected a number of art pieces from their own students to have displayed. 

Both studio and digital arts will be presented. Physical and digital drawings will appear on display boards hung up on walls around the media center. 3D works such as ceramics will be displayed on top of bookcases, and video productions and short films will be presented on the media center’s computers. "

Morini Gallery - "In the Zone" - Online Juried Exhibit

In the words of Emily Hill, the journalist, being "in the zone" is delicious, immersive, and kinda trippy.  Time collapses. Sound falls away. Suddenly we look up, and it's 4 AM.  This tunnel-vision phenomenon is reported by athletes, creatives, and psychologists alike as a hyper-focused, sometimes spiritual, state of mind where anything is possible. It is where we become our most productive, creative, and powerful selves.

Artist's were asked to take a moment to recall that feeling and show us examples of when they truly felt they were… "In the Zone".

This exhibition is presented in a virtual format and can be viewed HERE https://mmas.org/online-exhibit-2/
