What: Glendale Union High School District student art gallery
Where: On display in hallways at Abrazo Central Campus, 2000 W. Bethany Home Road, Phoenix
Special to Independent Newsmedia
Abrazo Central Campus in north central Phoenix has opened a new community art gallery featuring works from art students at Washington High School.
Washington is a part of the Glendale Union High School District, and opened in 1955 with its first graduating class in 1956. Washington is located at 2217 W. Glendale Ave., in Phoenix.
A formal dedication included student artists, family members, teachers and Abrazo Central Campus hospital officials. The event was part of the hospital’s ongoing 60th anniversary celebration.
The gallery showcases student art on a rotating basis in collaboration with Washington High School and Glendale Union High School District. The school is located just a few blocks away from Abrazo Central Campus, which also offers health career presentations for students.
"We do our best to facilitate the growth of our students, both artistically and as young adults, and having the opportunity to showcase their talents to the wider community is an incredible opportunity,” Amanda Kinzinger, who teaches 3D Art at Washington, shared in a press release.
Hospital officials enjoyed meeting the student artists to hear about the inspiration for their art.
“This new gallery is going to give artistically inclined students a tangible experience for how their efforts impact community and how that community can, in return, support their pursuits," Jessica Carroll, who teaches 2D Art at Washington, stated.
The artwork is displayed in the hallways of the hospital.
Abrazo Central Campus is located at 2000 W. Bethany Home Road in Phoenix.
