EPISD Creativity Through Our Eyes
August 22 - October 25

Mac Rogers Gallery, Ginger Francis Seminar Room, and EPMA Art School

In this exhibition, over 60 El Paso Independent School District (EPISD) students were selected by their respective instructors to participate in a unique opportunity with the El Paso Museum of Art (EPMA). As part of the program, EPISD students gathered at EPMA to learn about the museum, curatorial practices, tour the museum’s collection and learn about various careers within the arts from museum professionals on staff. The works on view reflect the diverse perspectives, creative strengths, and engagement with their personal and cultural experiences. This is the second student exhibition between EPMA and EPISD showcasing the imagination and ingenuity of students representing Austin, Bowie, Burges, Coronado, El Paso, Franklin, Irvin, Transmountain Early College and Young Women’s High Schools.

Support for this exhibition is provided by the Mellon Foundation. Additional support is provided by the El Paso Museum of Art Foundation and City of El Paso’s Museums & Cultural Affairs Department
