The Scranton School District and The University of Scranton have partnered to give an outstanding opportunity for students to exhibit their art at the University’s Hope Horn Gallery from March 20 to April 14.

The exhibition tilted, “Post COVID,” challenged the high school students to reflect upon the last three years of their lives. Students were asked “What is it like to make art post-COVID from a teenager’s perspective? How are community connections reestablished after long periods of isolation?” A group exhibition explores these questions through work produced by high school students in the Scranton School District.

Self-expression shines in pieces by these young artists, who represent the future of arts and culture in northeastern Pennsylvania, according to Ryan Hnat, art educator at West Scranton High School.

A Curator’s Lecture is set for 5 p.m. on Friday, March 24, in the Pearn Auditorium of Brennan Hall, followed by a public reception at the Hope Horn Gallery on the fourth floor of Hyland Hall from 6 to 8 p.m. The lecture and reception, presented free of charge and open to the public, have been made possible by The University of Scranton and the following art educators of Scranton School District: Ryan Hnat, Anne McNally, Rosemary Robertson, Kerri Ruddy-Archer, Adam Ruane and David Schulte.

The exhibition can be seen, also free of charge, during gallery hours.
