The 37th annual Exposures student art show is set to debut at the Northport Arts Association (NAA) on Friday, April 25, with the reception from 4 to 6:30 p.m. People will be able to view featured artwork once again on Saturday, April 26 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Exposures, a Leelanau County student journal, is a collaborative project originally designed in 1988 to challenge Leelanau County students in grades 7-12 to express themselves through art and writing and provide a showcase for their work. Hundreds of various artwork in the form of poems, stories, paintings, drawings, and more are submitted every year for review. Approximately 151 student art pieces were selected this year though “to best represent the heartfelt thoughts, fears, dreams, and hopes of Leelanau County students.”
Deb Freed, project coordinator for Exposures, said her favorite part about seeing the student publication come together every year is working together with very creative teachers and community volunteers for a common cause, which is to recognize and highlight the talent of Leelanau County kids.
