Trinity artists in Lower School and Middle School were selected recently to have their art showcased in two exhibits.

As part of Youth Art Month in March, an exhibit at the Carolina Theatre included art pieces by six Lower School students: 

  • Hera North (Kindergarten)
  • Zion Young (1st Grade)
  • Mary Wishart (2nd Grade)
  • Eli Dalton and Julia Harnett (3rd Grade),
  • Henry Pelletier (4th Grade).

“I am truly so honored to teach these wonderful artists,” said K-4 Art Teacher Shelby Hawk.

The exhibit, which includes art from students in grades K-5 in the Charlotte area, continues until March 30.

During Black History Month in February, 17 7th and 8th Grade students from the Middle School Studio Art class displayed their artwork in an exhibit at the VAPA Center, “Deeply Rooted,” illustrating Charlotte's Black history.

Two Trinity students received a stipend in special recognition of their art pieces: 8th Grade student Adrian Martinez for “The Laureate,” celebrating Jaki Shelton Greene, North Carolina’s first Black female poet laureate; and 7th Grade student Cate Bonner for “The Boy Who Flew,” which was based on the experience of two boys whose uncle’s house was bombed.
