March 27 & 28 The 2010 HHS Art Department Annual Honors Exhibition will soon be on display at the Cultural Arts Alliance. "Not only does the show give the students an opportunity to have their work displayed in a gallery," explains Sandra Livis, president and executive director of the CAA, "It allows the CAA to offer the community access to great art."
On
Thursday, March 25th, at the Cultural Arts Alliance from 6:30
to 7:30 PM, artists: Lori Crosby, Abby Markinac, Madison McKenna, Craig
Muscanell, Ryan McLean, Samantha Oleson, Annelyse Reinertson, Tracy Tolf
will be hosting the opening reception. The exhibit will be open for
public viewing on March 27th & 28th from 2:00 to
4:00 PM.
The annual
event offers the town a chance to see what is happening behind the
scenes in Hopkinton High School's art department. The chosen students
all demonstrate a passion for the arts and plan on pursuing art after
graduation.
"This is
not just an exhibit of student work, it is an exhibit of student
work where the students play a large part in the presentation, promotion
and hosting of the show," Sandra Livis states. With minimal help from
teachers, the students are responsible for organizing the show and for
ensuring there will be an impressive outcome on opening night.
The
exhibit also exposes student artists to the art industry, on a small
scale. For several of the artists, this exhibition will be the first of
many throughout a career in the arts. Annelyse Reinertson will be
attending Massachusetts College of Art and Design for Illustration next
year. She explains, "This will prepare me and everyone else in the show
for what a real exhibit will be like when we're all off doing our own
things in art school. It'll help us practice talking about our artwork
to other people, and will enable us to absorb feedback - positive and
negative."
The
Hopkinton High School and the Cultural Arts Alliance work in unison to
encourage the development of young artists that will preserve the
artistic talent in the town. "Part of the mission statement of the CAA
is to work in collaboration with the schools and other community
organizations," claims Livis. "The CAA has often tried to partner with
the schools and the students to foster interest in the arts and to
encourage arts education," explains Barb Timko, a board member of the
CAA.
Timko
stated, "Art has the power to reach inside of people and to change their
views of the world and life. We always hope that every show will bring
in a new viewer and reach them in a special way," when asked for her
perspective of the exhibition. CAA President Livis declared, "[She is]
always very impressed by the students that run the show." This year's
exhibition hopes to continue that tradition.

March 28 This concert,
entitled “Play Nice With Others!” features music designed to highlight the

and strings as they work in sections and as a combined musical force. The
centerpiece of the concert will be a performance of “Tubby The Tuba,”
featuring the CHSO’s virtuoso tuba player, Chip Halt. “Tubby” is narrative
piece, telling the story of the poor tuba in the orchestra searching for his
own melody instead of being relegated to “oom-pahs” and supported by an
unlikely friend and ally, “Peepoe the Piccolo.” In the CHSO performance,
Halt is joined by his wife, Lori Halt on piccolo! Other works to be
performed on the program include Copland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man” and
“Hoe-Down”, as well as works of Mozart and other composers. March 28 - April 4 HOPKINTON, MASS.
