Millburn Student to be Featured at Morris Museum

A Millburn High School junior's art has been accepted into the Fresh Perspectives 2013 exhibit at Morris Museum.

Eugene Zeng, a student in the high school's AP Studio Art II class, will have his work displayed starting in April until the exhibit ends June 9.  The opening reception will be on April 11 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Bickford Theater, located at the museum.

"This is a highly selective jury process," Kathleen Harte, AP Studio Art teacher said about the juried high school exhibit. "We are all very proud of Eugene."

This year's exhibit will feature 50 pieces of outstanding artwork selected from over 430 submissions from 39 New Jersey High schools.  

From traditional to cutting edge, this year’s exhibit will be judged by Clay Allen, Chairperson of the Visual Arts Department at County College of Morris and Tricia Zimic, artist and conservationist.

The annual Fresh Perspectives juried exhibition began in 1989 to give artistically accomplished high school students a professionally organized museum exhibition experience and to recognize art teachers for their encouragement and the effective teaching of these talented student artists.
