A full array of photography, sculpture, drawings, ceramics, painting and mixed media art are on display in “Inspirations,” the Capital City Arts Initiative’s latest exhibit.
For this exhibition, the Initiative presents work by the art faculty members from Carson, Dayton, and Douglas high schools. The artists include: Rita Borselli, K.C. Brennan, Kara Ferrin, Michael Malley, John Martin, Zoe Shorten, Malaynia Wick, and Kelley Yost.
“CCAI presents Inspirations to thank these dedicated teachers and to honor their ongoing, committed, and enthusiastic work they do inspiring their students’ imaginations and creativity — capabilities underscore students’ learning and, eventually, to being strong employees. These teachers are amazing assets for our communities,” said CCAI Executive Director Sharon Rosse.
The exhibit is being featured through Jan. 11 at the Community Development Building, 108 E. Proctor St., which is open daily from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m.
Additionally, the gallery will be the site of a free reception for the artists from 5 to 7 p.m. Nov. 15.
