MANSFIELD — Superintendent Teresa Murphy and Principal Russ Booth are pleased to share that students from Mansfield High School have been invited to participate in the Attleboro Arts Museum’s annual High Art exhibition, running from May 13 through May 29.
Mansfield High School students are also showcasing their work in a juried student art exhibition called “The Future is Now” and the much-anticipated District Art Show.
The High Art exhibition, a juried showcase of installation art, featuring the creative works of high school students from across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, is being held at the Attleboro Arts Museum. The artwork of nine students from Mansfield High School will be featured in the exhibition.
The public is invited to attend the opening reception and awards ceremony from 6:30 to 8 p.m., on Wednesday, May 14. The event is free and open to all.
With the overarching theme of “BALANCE” chosen for this year’s exhibition, the 2025 High Art show features large-scale, collaborative artworks by student artists from a total of 13 high schools.
Responding imaginatively to this year’s theme, students from Mansfield High School worked together to design and construct a striking seven-foot-tall interpretation of a classic drinking bird toy, serving as a metaphor for equilibrium and persistence. The Art in Action class is taught by Mansfield High School teachers Derek Harding and Jennifer Martinelli.
Participants from Mansfield High School include the following student artists:
- Megan Almeida
- Zoe Colchamiro
- Danielle Lee
- Michael McCoy
