This school year’s Artist in Residence Program culminated with the Masters Brush Ceremony Awards. At the ceremony the participating high school students exhibited their final works of art. Through out the program, Artist in Residence, Kevin Brooks lead the students on an exploratory journey in art and in themselves. For one of the students it was her first time taking brush and paint to canvas.

Parents, staff and students came together to support the students receiving the Master Brush Awards and to view their beautiful artwork which are now on display. Kevin Brooks presented each painting to the room with detailed descriptions of how each piece came to life through the artistic hands of his talented apprentices. Each student was called up and awarded a Master’s Paint Brush among other prizes. The ceremony concluded with the most prestigious award, the Golden Masters Brush which was awarded to Caroline.

The students did an amazing job and exceeded even their own expectations. Mr. Brooks left the students with some inspiring words of wisdom, “We all have many dreams so that we can fulfill them.  Since the Universe is infinite…are not we?  We are one with infinite possibilities.”
