Over the course of three months, from October 2019 through January 2020, NRHS visiting artist Susan Luss worked with five art classes. She created and presented her ongoing work that uses sunlight and her found object installations as foundations for collaborative student led projects.

On January 18, 2020, from 12pm to 4pm, we are celebrating this months-long engagement with the opening of Susan’s solo exhibition, in conjunction with four student-led collaborative installations featuring art from almost 100 students in grades 9 through 12.

On view through February 14th, 2020
Monday – Friday / 8am to 3pm.
Or by appointment via message.

In the Museum of Arts & Culture: today, I am . . .
