Nassau County's young artists showcased their talents at the recent Art In The Heart exhibit, held at Adelphi University's PAC Center from June 2 to June 18. This event, organized by the New York State Art Teachers Association (NYSATA) Region 9, celebrated the hard work and creativity of students across the county. The exhibit featured a diverse group of artists, including Deshada Chillin, Isabella Della Torre, Levi Gonzalez, Benjamin Miranda Klosick, Raffia Safreen, and Nikki Zhang, who were recognized for their contributions to the visual arts.

In addition to the Art In The Heart exhibit, the Long Island Media Arts Show at 5 Towns College highlighted the achievements of high school students in film photography, digital art, and animation. This juried exhibit, which ran from March 28 to May 9, included works from a range of talented artists such as Jonathan Amor Melendez, Alyssa Castano, and Jordan Chaver, among others. The jurors for this event were industry professionals and educators, ensuring a high standard of recognition for the participants.

These exhibitions not only celebrate the artistic accomplishments of students but also emphasize the importance of visual arts education in Nassau County. As NASADA continues to advocate for these programs, the community can look forward to more opportunities for young artists to shine and share their work.
