A new art show that will debut on April 30 at the Northport Arts Association (NAA) will give Northport Public School students a unique and creative opportunity to use their voice for the environment.
The project titled “Connected by Cause” had students identify an environmental cause that they felt deeply passionate about eradicating, and using materials like clay, costume, poetry, and design, they were able to translate their environmental values into a unified body of work that culminates in a community parade and gallery exhibition.
Since January, middle and high school students were tasked with developing and communicating an environmental cause through interconnected artistic channels including: Creating a logo/symbol and slogan; a clay vessel and clay envelope to hold their written poem/ proclamation; a costume/outfit built through branding, textiles, patches, hats, and accessories; and photography.
