Southeastern Regional Voc Tech Students' Art Featured in Local Art Exhibitions

(South Easton) - Two Design and Visual Communication (DVC) majors (pictured above) and Brockton residents received honorable mention at the Boston Globe Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. Janeliz Bonilla, a junior from Brockton, submitted a photo entitled “Façade,” featuring Cosmetology major and Avant Gard model Karly Galligan of Norton. Samantha St. Firmin, a senior from Brockton, entered her photo “Water Sprite.” An exhibition of Gold Key winners will be held March 7-15 at the Boston University gallery.

According to DVC instructor, Mrs. Shirley Ezerins, “Scholastics provides wonderful opportunities for students to have others appreciate and assess their work. It’s always an honor when any of the students receive a key or honorable mention. Students are often pleasantly surprised when they win.”

“I’m still shocked that I got honorable mention. I honestly wasn’t sure that I was going to enter the competition! This is amazing and getting recognition for my work is an award in itself,” Miss St. Firmin confirmed.

Because of their long-term commitment to art education and the quality of work emanating from their art programs, Southeastern Regional students were also invited to take part in the “Emerging Young Artists 2015 Invitational Exhibition” at University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. Featured among the over 100 works on display at the campus gallery from 29 high schools was the artwork of the following DVC students:
