Eighteen students from Chatham High School have had their original artworks selected for the annual Blackwell Art Show, currently hosted at the Morris Museum in Morristown, New Jersey. The students, encouraged by arts teacher Eric Hreha, submitted works ranging from abstract architectural paintings and character designs to vibrant illustrations, joining a competitive selection of hundreds of applicants from across Morris County.
This local exhibition serves as a critical platform for emerging talent, providing high school artists with professional museum exposure and community recognition. By showcasing diverse styles and mediums, the event highlights the importance of regional arts education and provides a bridge for students considering professional careers in creative fields like animation and fine art.
