The Carmel Arts Council is pleased to announce that Carmel High School students, sophomore Alex Thomas and junior Caroline Armstrong, were selected among several candidates to produce the Carmel Arts Council’s summer art show.

Awarded as Student Curators, these students will begin a series of instructional meetings to learn how to plan and construct an art exhibition. These student curators will be mentored in this process by Mrs. Harriet Warkel, a Carmel Arts Council member and an Indianapolis Art Museum curator with nearly 30 years of experience.

The CAC’s student curator’s art exhibition, which features high school art, will open on July 8, 2017 in the Carmel Arts Council’s Children’s Art Gallery located at 40 West Main Street and continue through August 27.

We look forward to seeing everyone visit to acknowledge their education, dedication and enthusiasm in the Arts- AND viewing a Gallery of outstanding Art by our High School students, of course!

Alex and Caroline – Study ON!  Can’t Wait!!!
