Visual art teachers from public, private and alternative high schools nominated their top students for the juried show. The exhibition was blindly adjudicated by: interdisciplinary artist Sirima Sataman, painter and Associate Professor of Art Lynn Sondag (Dominican University), and photographer Stephen Texeira. Sponsors include College of Marin, Dominican University of California, RileyStreet Art Supply, Rocky Nook Inc, and Sarah Shepard Gallery.
