“The exhibition will provide our IB seniors with an opportunity to visually communicate their own expression or voice through their curation of personal artworks and many provide the public the chance to purchase one-of-a-kind artwork,”
said Nogales High School Art Teacher Robert Sotello.
Each student must display eight to 10 art selections and are anxious to see how the public will respond to their art form and theme.
