High school students in 11th and 12th grade from all over central Ohio are spending winter and spring 2010 exploring art and environmental issues and earning credit through their own schools in the half-year Art & Environment course at the Wexner Center. The students will show their projects in the Interventions exhibition exhibition at the center May 27 to June 1. They also give tours of that show to school groups. Teachers, consider bringing your class to see the 2010 Interventions exhibition and think about students who might want to apply for the 2011 course. (See the artwork the 2009 class created in a Flickr photo album.) Find out more about the class on the Art & Environment blog.
