Fresh Perspectives 2023
A juried high school art on-line virtual gallery and curated exhibition hosted by the Morris Museum, Morristown, NJ.
This juried exhibition began in 1989 as an outlet for artistically accomplished New Jersey high school students to express their curiosity and creativity.
In its 34th year, the Morris Museum is proud to again share superb works in a variety of media including photography, drawing, painting, digital art, and sculpture, created by New Jersey’s most talented young artists. Participants continue to inspire our community with their thought-provoking works and unique perspectives about art and the world around them.
Fresh Perspectives 2023 is a hybrid exhibition and it includes an online virtual gallery that will display the 50 entries recognized by the Museum’s jury panel. From these 50 entries, the curatorial team will select a number of 2D and 3D works for display at the Morris Museum in a curated Fresh Perspectives 2023 exhibition, on view from February 17 through May 14, 2023.
This exhibition is organized by Anne Ricculli, Ph.D., Director of Exhibits and Collections at the Morris Museum.
