The Child Mind Institute's Student Art Project will launch its newest
exhibit on Sunday, January 12, with Metamorphosis: Works by Upper
School Students from York Preparatory School.
Working with the theme "metamorphosis," students at York Prep explored
the concept of personal transformation. Through diverse media, they
sought to understand both physical and psychological change. Students
drew inspiration from Surrealism as well as artists and photographers
whose work investigates similar themes. In doing so, they worked to
articulate their own identities and transform their internal sense of
self into concrete expressions.
The arts are critical to child development, academic success, and
promoting self-esteem and self-expression. And research has proven that
integrating the arts into healthcare settings creates a healing
environment, supports the physical, mental, and emotional health of
patients, and reduces stress and anxiety.
The 35-piece exhibition will be displayed at the Child Mind Institute
headquarters. The opening reception on Sunday, January 12th
from 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. is open to the public and the exhibit can
also be viewed through mid-February by appointment.
The Child Mind Institute's headquarters also hosts a private collection
of contemporary and modern works by photographer Lillian Bassman and
artists Richmond Burton, Thomas Demand, Ellsworth Kelly, Ryan McGinness,
James Nares, Linda Sirow, Kiki Smith, Kenneth Noland, and Tam Van Tran
on permanent exhibit.
