The annual VCMS Art Show was on display for all to see in the VCMS Cafeteria last week.It is an amazing collection of exceptional examples of the artwork that is created in both Mrs. Nevins' and Ms. Bronner's classes. Opening night of this Art Show was a wonderful success on Wednesday evening! Students proudly shared their creativity with family, friends, and community members while the makeshift gallery was filled with excitement and appreciation for their work. The exhibit highlighted a wide range of artistic styles, ideas, and techniques, showcasing the imagination and effort our young artists put into their creations. It was a fantastic celebration of student talent and the vibrant art program at our school.

EPOCH Art and Photography took part in a field trip to Eastern Connecticut State University. They viewed an art exhibition featuring work created by individuals recently and currently incarcerated in Connecticut jails. This show provided students with unique perspectives that tackle themes of freedom, family, overcoming difficult circumstances, social justice and more. The visit also included a tour of the art department where students were able to see into the creative spaces of ECSU and learn about what it is like to be an art student in college.
