More than 100 BC students will have their artwork on display as part of the 16th annual K-8 Empire State Plaza Art Collection Exhibit in downtown Albany. From March 3-23, 2025, their artwork can be viewed in the South Concourse, closest to the Madison Ave (NYS Museum) end of the concourse.
Art teachers at the elementary schools and the middle school each selected 20 works of art inspired by the artwork at the Plaza. The collection consists of 92 works of Abstract Expressionist art displayed both in and around the Plaza.
Bethlehem is one of 17 Capital Region school districts participating in the National Youth Art Month celebration of art sponsored by the NYS Office of General Services, the Capital Area Art Supervisors (CAAS) group and the New York State Art Teachers’ Association (NYSATA).
The student-artists and their parents have been invited to a special reception on March 13 honoring their work.
Thank you to our K-8 art teachers for their participation. They are: Julia Montepagani, Traci Fortin, Angela Pinkel, Gwen Kovacik, Emily Juda, and Laura Forman. Melanie Painter is the supervisor of the BCSD Art Department.
