Students from Brenau University’s Center for Art and Design will showcase their work in a
student exhibition at the High Museum of Art this winter.
“Our students demonstrate both talent and technique in the selected work, but this opportunity
also offers practical skill development that every artist needs to know,” Brenau Galleries Director
Lybi Cucurullo said. “Through this partnership, our students gain real-life experience of
successfully exhibiting at a major museum, and the pride that comes along with sharing your
work with the greater community.”
The exhibition includes paintings, charcoal drawings, photography, posters, prints, ceramics, clothing, and interior design boards.
An opening reception on Sunday, Nov. 17, kicked off the exhibit in the Stent Family Education
Wing of the museum. The show runs until Jan. 5, 2025.
The partnership between the museum and Brenau dates back more than a decade.
Through the partnership, the High has hosted a similar show featuring Brenau student artwork
annually since 2013, except during 2021 and 2022. The exhibition returned in 2023.
“Since we began working with Brenau in 2010, we have enjoyed a wonderful, mutually
beneficial partnership that has continued to reap benefits for the museum and the university,”
said Andrew Westover, the High’s Eleanor McDonald Storza director of education. “We
collaborate with students through on-site projects at the museum, like this exhibition, which
allows us to engage with the next generation of creatives and thinkers. We look forward to
seeing their artworks and to more projects in the future.”
