Albany High artists chosen for display

The clay pieces of three Albany High School artists were selected for the 2019 Art in Three Dimensions show at Mohonasen High School.

Congratulations to senior Moe Sandar and juniors Laurel Stix and Julian Rodriguez on this honor. Of the 242 submissions from throughout the Capital District, 76 pieces were accepted for the juried show.

The annual juried show is an opportunity for Capital Region schools to highlight and showcase their three-dimensional art programs. The show runs Feb. 4-28 at the Mohonasen Art Gallery with an opening reception scheduled for Feb. 6 at 6:30 p.m.

The works, from 18 area high schools, were judged by Brandon Siscoe, a sculptor and 3D professor at the College of St. Rose and Sarah Haze, a ceramic artist, sculptor and owner of Round Designs in Troy.

The district serves approximately 9,500 students in 18 elementary, middle and high schools.
