Art is Our Classroom, curated by artist Elisheba Johnson

"While many students this year will be learning virtually, I hope this exhibition can be an addendum to their education. Artists across the state thought of how their work would enrich the lives and experience of those on their knowledge journey. Art has always been my best teacher. Showing me the complexities of the world and revealing the possibilities. I hope we all commit to learning through art this year, because we are in space that requires that we all dream big and be fearless."
