Where Are We Going
Hosted by Calhoun in partnership with the Ross-Sutton Gallery, Black@rts: Joy in Learning; Joy in Belonging showcases original works by Black-identified students in grades 6-12, from Calhoun and around the world. The theme of the show is students' interpretation of “joy” within contexts and communities where they feel at ease and welcomed to express themselves, embrace learning and experiment.
