Thank you’s for 21st Annual High School Exhibition

 

The Friends of the Yellow Barn Studio would like to express our “Thanks” to several very important people and groups without whom this show would not have been possible.

 

First, a big shout out to the 19 High Schools in the DMV whose teachers motivated their students to produce works of art that were as unique as each one of them. The participating schools included;

 

Albert Einstein High School, Richard Montgomery High School, St. Andrews Episcopal School, Thomas S. Wooton High School, Hearts Academy, Holton-Arms School, Northwest High School, Montgomery Blair High School, Washington Waldorf, Saint John’s College High School, John F. Kennedy High School, Walt Whitman High School, Winston Churchill High School, Landon School, McLean High School, James Madison High School, Jenkins Homeschool Academy, Sherwood High School, and Yorktown High School.

 

Next, The Friends are so appreciative to have Paul Spreiregen judge this annual show that exemplifies our mission and supports a new group of young talent. We were fortunate to have Paul judge our Members Show in 2017. He is an architect, author and artist who is known for sitting on the committee to choose the Vietnam War Memorial in 1981.

 

And, we would like to express our gratitude to Jack Fuller who every year has donated the “Second Place” award in memory of his wife, Mitzi Yater Fuller, a Washington artist and teacher who was a devoted student of the Yellow Barn for many years.

 

Lastly, we would like to thank Plaza Art and Tara Walsh for their continued support and dedication to The Friends! Plaza donated our “Best in Show” gift certificate for $500 annually for this show.  Our students and teachers will also receive gift certificates from Plaza for the High School Exhibition.  Our events would not be the same without Plaza Art… Yay Plaza!!

 

Many Thanks to you all !!!
