Emerging Artist Cohort of High School

Emerging
Artist Cohort

In addition to the city-wide arts showcase, a select group of DCPS high schoolers are part of an Emerging Artists Program at the Hirshhorn’s ARTLAB. They not only designed and curated the virtual showcase, they learned the software Mozilla Hubs to develop their own virtual rooms. Collectively, they are telling the story of DC through their very own eyes. Check out each of their spaces at the link below.

Falōin

School: Duke Ellington School of the Arts

Description: The idea came from the massive pillar ruins in the Arboretum. I felt it would give a unique view on DC, considering that it is out in nature and more peaceful than the bustling city.

Zahra

Title: Splash

School: Wilson

Description: DC in a nutshell captures all of dc’s aspects into one space. The space is focused on the wide range of colors throughout the city, such as the hidden murals and graffiti. I wanted to focus on how every artist in DC is unique and there isn’t one style of art here. Everyone's art and style is valued here in dc.
