Five talented art students from Urusline's Class of 2026 have made their mark on the local art scene by having their work featured in the TAC Pop-up Exhibition 2025, "Growth & Decay," at the Pelham Art Center. Curated by the Teen Artist Council (TAC), this thought-provoking exhibit showcases the creativity of over 25 local artists, including the following five juniors currently enrolled in either Advanced Art & Design or AP Art & Design at Ursuline: Elizabeth L, Sienna P, Genesis R, Brigitta T, and Miah Z.

Awarding winning student-artists proudly stand beside their work featured at local art exhibit.

The exhibition, running through May 11, 2025, explores the interconnectedness of life and death, examining the natural cycles of growth, decay, and rebirth. Selected through an open call to artists of all ages, Ursuline's student artists contributed powerful, thought-provoking pieces that reflect the theme in unique and moving ways. Inclusion in the exhibit is a significant milestone for these talented young artists.

Visual and Media Arts Department Chair Ms. Mary Quartaro '80 explains, "Each piece offers a distinct interpretation of the cycles of nature, blending imagination, technique, and emotional depth." Their contributions stand alongside those of both emerging and seasoned artists, affirming the strong creative voice of the next generation of young local artists.

Each piece offers a distinct interpretation of the cycles of nature, blending imagination, technique, and emotional depth.”

Hosted at the Pelham Art Center, "Growth & Decay" invites visitors to reflect on life's fleeting moments and endless transformations. The Ursuline School is proud to celebrate the achievements of these young artists whose passion and talent have earned them a well-deserved spotlight.

Congratulations to Elizabeth, Sienna, Genesis, Brigitta, and Miah on this outstanding accomplishment!
