The best high school art from Marin County!

Visual art teachers from public, private and alternative high schools have nominated their top students for the juried show, which runs Feb. 10 through March 27. The public opening reception will be held Feb. 14 from 5 to 8 p.m., which coincides with the 2nd Friday Art Walk in San Rafael.

The exhibition is blindly adjudicated. This year’s judges include painter Kay Carlson from Marin Open Studios; photographer and creative consultant Melissa McArdle; and Lynn Sondag, chair of Dominican University’s Department of Art, Art History, Media and Design.

Sponsors include College of Marin, Il Davide, Marin Open Studios, Perry’s Art Supplies & Framing, RileyStreet Art Supply, and the San Anselmo Arts Commission.

Artist Susan Diglioni founded Rising Stars in 1991, believing that young artists should be recognized for their talents.

The exhibit travels to the Marin Center in April, where it will be on display in the Bartolini Gallery April 9 – May 31.
