Fresh Perspectives 2025
Featuring Art from New Jersey high school students
This juried exhibition began at the Morris Museum in 1989 as an outlet for artistically accomplished New Jersey high school students to express their curiosity and creativity.
Now in its 36th year, Fresh Perspectives shares superb works in a variety of media including photography, drawing, painting, digital art, and sculpture, created by the Garden State’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.
The Morris Museum welcomes submissions of 2D and 3D works in all media, including photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, and digital art. Please note that works incorporating AI (Artificial Intelligence) software or platforms are not eligible for this juried exhibition.
Art teachers from accredited high schools (public or private) in New Jersey are encouraged to submit a maximum of 4 pieces per teacher of outstanding work produced by their students during the fall of 2024.
Our panel of three jurors selects fifty works for display at the Morris Museum from March 14 through May 25, 2025 and inclusion in the accompanying online catalogue.
