On Saturday, March 9, the Parrish Art Museum honored 51 young artists for their outstanding work that has been on view in the 2019 Student Exhibition. Selected from more than 250 high school student participants by Neill Slaughter, painter and retired professor of Visual Art at Long Island University, C.W. Post campus, the up-and-coming artists were celebrated at a ceremony at the Museum, where Parrish Art Museum Director Terrie Sultan and Slaughter presented Awards of Excellence to 35 Seniors, “Ones to Watch” Awards to 11 underclassmen, and five awards including a grand prize to artists working in pastel.

 

“In the best art there is a transcendence, whereby the viewer is emotionally moved or taken to another place by the artist’s interpretation,” said Slaughter, a practicing artist and professor for 40 years who has been the judge at several Student Exhibitions, “I think it is important that the artist’s intention is communicated as well.”

 

The ceremony began with opening remarks by Sultan and Slaughter. Parrish Education Director Cara Conklin-Wingfield announced the names of the winners, who came forward with their teachers to accept certificates. Refreshments were served at the event, which was open to the public.

 

In addition to awards for excellence for high school seniors, exhibiting high school juniors and seniors who are planning to pursue further study in visual art were considered for a single Pastel Award based on works in pastel that are included in the annual student exhibition. This award included a $2500 scholarship prize, which is made possible by the Art Spirit Foundation. Kaitlyn Driscoll, a Mattituck High School Senior, was selected by Slaughter to receive Art Spirit Foundation Pastel Award for her pastel on paper, Poor Rose. Four other students were given “Honorable Mentions” recognition for their work in that medium.

 

The Student Exhibition, a nearly 65-year tradition at the Parrish Art Museum that opened this year on February 9 and closed March 10, featured the work of more than 1,000 young artists from public, private, parochial, and home schools on Eastern Long Island. Participants in the Student Exhibition explore many traditional and non-traditional approaches to artmaking. Working with their art teachers and through art clubs in schools from Bellport to East Hampton and the North Fork, the students demonstrate enthusiasm and skill in diverse media including painting, sculpture, drawing, illustration, mixed media, printmaking, and photography.
