Each year the Everson Teen Arts Council curates its own Teen Art Exhibition featuring the work of students in grades 9-12 from across Central New York. In an attempt to combat the boredom of social isolation and stress of the events of 2020, this year the council accepted submissions related to the theme of escapism and what brings joy to your own inner world.
