The 2021 Citywide Middle School Art Exhibition is an annual event featuring artists in grades 6th through 8th, from across Denver Public Schools. Previously, this exhibition has been hosted by our long-standing community partner, the Denver Public Library. While we were unable to host an in-person show this year due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are proud of the work our teachers and students have produced over the past school year! This year’s show features artwork from 11 schools and 17 programs from across the district. There are 148 pieces on view, all submitted by our visual arts teachers. In addition to the art, the artist statements are an extension of students’ inspirations, ideas, and art methods. Collectively, the work expresses the resiliency of teachers and students during historically challenging times. This virtual show is a celebration of student art and our learning community.
