Description

Press release from Portland Public Library: May 27, 2022 High school senior, Ella Burdin, organized, promoted, funded, and executed a Portland Public School district-wide exhibit of student and faculty artwork. When we first introduced high school senior Ella Burdin in November 2021, she was interning in the Lewis Gallery under the guidance of Gallery Manager Rachael Harkness, learning the process of how the fall exhibit, ILLUSTRATED MONSTERS BY MONSTER ILLUSTRATORS, was curated, hung, and promoted. This spring, Ella has returned to the Lewis Gallery as the curator of Art Class, a new exhibit highlighting the art of students and teachers from Portland-area high schools. This fresh work gives visitors the opportunity to browse the work of emerging young artists, including Ella. This press release was produced by Portland Public Library.
