The artistic talent of 30 students from Massapequa School District will be on display at the Art Supervisors Association’s (ASA) 11th Annual Nassau All-County Art Exhibition on Sunday, March 15. The free event takes place at the Ruth S. Harley Center at Adelphi University from 12 to 4 p.m. and honors more than 1,200 students from kindergarten through 12th grade who have demonstrated excellence in a wide variety of two-dimensional visual art forms including drawing, painting, printmaking, computer graphics and photography.
The ASA, in its efforts to nurture young artists, will also present Massapequa High School senior Peter DeVito and nearly 50 other graduating seniors a scholarship during a special Scholarship Awards Ceremony preceding the exhibit. The Massapequa students featured in the exhibit are: Birch Lane students Jackson MacLeod, Ava Bendowski and Olivia Kostaris; East Lake students Emmy Aird, Leann DeLeon and Gina Sparacino; Fairfield students Grace Schafer, Jeremy Winter and Emily Balducci; McKenna students Abbey Sullivan, Kathryn O’Farrell and Tyler Fennell; Unqua students Isabella Quartiere, Michael Justi and Madison Fung; Berner students Gabriella Marsico, Adriana Zanone and Kevin McLeer; Ames students Raymond Spinelli, Ryan Lee and Ashley Braunstein; and Massapequa High School students Sabrina Montella, Brigette Box, Christina Lipari, Cameron Matassa, Leslie Fiene, Kaitlyn Lucey, Peter DeVito, Alexandria Hensler and Aislinn Foley.
“This event gives our community the opportunity to appreciate the creativity, imagination and skill that is produced by a fundamental, innovative, and vibrant K-12 sequential visual arts education,” said Barbara Mims, Massapequa’s coordinating chairperson for Art, K-12 and co-chair of the exhibit. “We are very proud that the talents of Massapequa students are represented in this prestigious exhibition.”
