Six Smithtown Students to Feature Artwork in Exhibit

Six student-artists from Smithtown High School East recently had their artwork selected to have their artwork featured in the 2016 Embracing Our Differences – Long Island art exhibit, sponsored by the Suffolk Center on the Holocaust, Diversity and Human Understanding.

Last spring, the six students – Stephanie Berdon, Brooke Berroyer, Allison Cleary, Alexandra Granelle, Faith Leonard and Alexandra Thode – were enrolled in Dianne Shanian’s photography class.

Their artwork will be enlarged and displayed in mural format at Suffolk County Community College, Ammerman Campus, in Selden.

These 12-feet by 8-feet murals will hang on the outside grounds of the campus.

The exhibit begins on Oct. 27 with a reception and is open to the public.

Congratulations to all the students!
