Winnetka gallery to feature New Trier artwork, fundraise for nonprofit
Submitted by Vivid Art
Gallery
Vivid Art Gallery will
host an art opening for
New Trier High School’s
AP Art Students on Friday,
Dec. 7, at the gallery’s
monthly First Friday
event.
The opening, which runs
from 5-8 p.m., is open to
all and is free of charge.
The students will be present
at the opening, and refreshments
and live music
will round out the evening.
A call for submissions
was distributed to all New
Trier AP art students, under
the direction of teacher
Mark Bowers.
The theme of the exhibit
is “Bouquet,” and the students
were asked to create
artwork that reflects their
interpretation of that word.
“Bouquets often symbolize
a variety, a bunch,
a compliment, a commendation,
a tribute, an accolade;
praise or emotions,
an artist’s truth, perhaps
a collection of dreams or
ideas,” Bowers said. “It
may define intuitively an
intended focal point that
carries the viewer more
deeply into the artist’s
message.”
With that as a background,
the young artists
were asked to create
a piece in the medium of
their choosing.
This year’s exhibit will
be the second time that
Vivid Art Gallery has hosted
the work of the New Trier
AP Art Students. Cynthia
Burr, owner of the gallery,
sees it as a way to support
the community and emerging
artists in the area.
“We love having a relationship
with New Trier
and giving the students the
opportunity to have the
experience of answering
a call for submission and
having their work shown
in a gallery.” Burr said.
“It’s great for these kids
to have a real-world experience
like this. For those
who will go on in the art
world, this is a first taste of
what it’s like.”
Both Burr and Bowers
hope to see this program
continue in the future.
“It’s exciting for the students
and a lot of fun for
us,” Burr added. “And the
community loves it. We
had so many people come
in last year to see the kids’
work — and it wasn’t just
parents and grandparents.”
The exhibit will be up
from Dec. 4-21. All of
the students’ work will be
available for sale at the
price of $100. Proceeds
from the exhibit will be
donated to Teen Living
Programs, a nonprofit organization
serving homeless
youth in the city of
Chicago. The charity was
chosen by the students
themselves. Last year,
sales of the students’ work
raised $1,340 for earthquake
victims in Puerto
Rico.
In addition to the New
Trier AP Art Student Exhibit,
the gallery will be
hosting a Holiday Artisan
Market during the month
of December.

possibly put it into a future
album.
“We want to get an album
out before the summer
hopefully next year,”
Kennett said. “I have no
doubt that we’ll be able to
do that. We have so many
ideas already that feel like
they should be on the album.
I think we are going
to be working pretty hard
the next few months to get
that album together and
done and finished.

make a really cool debut

“It’s wild,” Hauldren
said, “because there are
