AP Art students from Meridian High School participated in a professional curation and installation master class at the Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Experience (The MAEX). Led by curator Christina McField, the students transitioned from artists to curators, learning the technical and conceptual requirements for mounting a professional museum exhibition.
This initiative bridges the gap between classroom learning and professional museum standards, providing students with vocational insight into the art world. The resulting exhibition will debut during the annual Festival of the Arts, highlighting the importance of institutional partnerships in fostering the next generation of arts professionals and cultural producers.
