DUMBO ARTS CENTER (DAC) High School Art Lab 2011 Exhibition





DUMBO ARTS CENTER (DAC) High School Art Lab 2011 Exhibition

55 Washington Street, 2nd floor, Brooklyn, NY (September 24-26 2011)

This exhibition of student work was produced by students who participated in the Dumbo Arts Center’s High School Summer Art Lab. The DAC Summer Art Lab provided a unique learning opportunity for high school students interested in art-making, community involvement and arts administration. The program sought to instill civic pride, encourage creative thinking and problem solving abilities. Students learned new art-making skills, developed new ideas and created their own works for the 2011 DUMBO Festival. This exhibition featured the work of Mir Mahmood and Isaiah Johnson who worked with teaching artists Victoria Calabro and Hiba Schahbaz. These young artists also got a chance assist Aeron Bergman and Alejandra Salinas while the artists were installing their show GLADLY I WILL SELL FOR PROFIT, DEAR MERCHANTS OF THE TOWN MY HAT LADEN WITH SNOW in the DAC gallery.
