Herricks High School sophomore Elia Zhang and senior Natalie Zhou have been selected to exhibit their work at the Heckscher Museum as part of Long Island’s Best Young Artists Competition 2023. This year only 91 works of art have been selected to be on exhibit by high school students from 58 high schools. This was the most competitive year to date with 553 submissions from 77 schools across Long Island.
Zhang is being recognized with an Honorable Mention for her origami composed landscape. Her work was also chosen to be the theme for this year’s exhibition and will be printed on the headlines of the certificates. Zhou is being recognized with an Achievement Award for her mixed media piece.
Both are students of Herricks High School Art Teachers Jennifer Cavalluzzo and Alexis Camisa. Director of Fine and Performing Arts Anissa Arnold stated, “We continue to be very proud of these two Herricks artists for their passion, talent and accomplishments in visual arts.”
Long Island’s Best Young Artists Exhibit will be on display at the Heckscher Museum in Huntington between April 29-June 4.
