Reception - Harvard Ed Portal Teen Art Program Exhibition: Pieces of Everyone

Celebrate our newest exhibit at the Harvard Ed Portal's Crossings Gallery. Come meet the artists, grab a bite, network with neighbors, and enjoy the art.

Light refreshments will be served.

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT

What pieces of ourselves do we reveal when we make art—and which ones do we keep out of frame?

This spring, students from Brighton High School and Mary Lyon Pilot High School launched the Harvard Ed Portal’s new Teen Art Program. Together, they explored the role art can play in their lives after high school and learned about professional exhibition design, curation, and presentation as they co-created this group show. Pieces of Everyone showcases their bold portraits, imagined characters, digital illustrations, paintings, drawings, and woven fiber work, all created in and out of school. These works offer glimpses of identity, community, and possibility.

Come see how Boston’s young artists are piecing together who they are—and who they’re becoming.
