with an awards ceremony when teachers
recognize students’ works, followed by a
Gallery-opening reception for the public.
Art Exposed began in 2010, when
Dan Whitely, then chair of the SHHS Art
Department, approached the Library
looking for a way to highlight student
art and to provide students with an
opportunity to see how a gallery operates.
Karen Mehling-DeMauro, current SHHS
Art Department chair, has been in charge
of the event, which has included the
Middle School since 2015.
The inner workings of the show
begin in January when students in
Mehling-DeMauro’s portfolio class create
6x9-inch art card to advertise the show.
Each student is required to create a design.
Sometimes teachers will pick more than
one design and ask the students to work
together to combine their ideas on a new
image. A student with a graphic design
background is generally one of the lead
designers. Students hand out the art cards
to their parents and put them up around
the schools to advertise the exhibit.
Midweek before the show, Shaker’s
art teachers shuttle between their teaching
duties and the Library to mount their
students’ work. Some of the students are
called on to help. The art incorporates
a diverse mix of mediums including
oil, charcoal, pastel, drawings, digital
media, pottery, and jewelry. The show is
a capstone of the students’ year and one
of the Library’s most anticipated exhibits.
The exhibit is displayed throughout most
of the second floor for two weeks.
“The show gives the majority of
our students a chance to display their
work for public viewing. I believe this is
something they feel very proud about,”
