Our mission is to encourage & support the arts in our community

On Friday, March 23rd, 54 art students from Apponequet Regional High School took at field trip to the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA).  The trip was sponsored through a grant from the Lakeville Arts Council, so the buses were free. This meant each student only had to pay the $7 admission price to get into the Museum.   While at the MFA, we got to see a variety of artwork within different exhibitions and collections. Julianna Sheridan, a student taking AP Studio Art and Art II this year, said her favorite piece in the museum is by Frida Kahlo in the “Making Modern” Exhibition. Max Wilensky, a student currently taking Mixed Media, said his favorite piece is of a large red dragon in the “Takashi Murakami: Lineage of Eccentrics” Exhibition. Some of my favorite pieces at the museum are by painters like Claude Monet and Georgia O’Keefe.   Overall, I’d say the experience was eye-opening and everyone had a lot of fun admiring the wide range of artwork at the MFA.  This was written by Hailee Simmons (senior).
