Sneak Peek of the newest curated Morristown HS Student Show

“Dreamscapes” group exhibition was created by the Young Artists

Mentoring Program from November 2024 - March 2025. This exhibition’s

inspiration was the Morristown High School students’ dreams as expressed

through the Surrealist art style. Thanks to Morris Arts, the program was a

huge success! Director, Toni Paolillo designed the program to focus on

inspiring students by bringing in local artists to teach them new creative

processes while developing artist statements that reflect the context of their

works. The program culminated with the students submitting their artwork

to a local gallery. Curator of Surreal Creamery, Caitlin Lodato visited

throughout the program helping each student develop their unique

creations, as well as the large group canvases. Throughout the time spent,

the students worked on monoprints, collage, gold leaf, acrylic painting and

stop motion animation. It was important to the director to give the students

opportunity to explore materials they may not otherwise experience. These

pieces are the apogee of the students’ hard work and openness to sharing

their dreams in new ways. We hope you enjoy the exhibition and

appreciate you supporting the arts!
