Reagan students to host visual arts showcase tonight

This evening, the public will have a unique opportunity to view the work of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Visual Art students at MPS’ Ronald Reagan College Preparatory High School.

The students, who participated in the two-year intensive visual arts program, have each created a 30-piece body of work with a central theme and have chosen their finest pieces for display at the IB Gallery Showcase tonight, May 3, from 5 to 8 p.m. in the third-floor art galleries at Reagan High School, 4965 S. 20th St.

Light refreshments will be served.

Some of the students’ work will be submitted to a New York Times project that calls for young people to document their hometown and environment.

Works from the creative arts alliance known as Voices of the Young will be on display as well.
