The gallery posted an open call to high school artists in four surrounding counties for the juried exhibition of work about their personal lives, remembrances or special moments. The works of 20 students from five high schools — Haldane, Newburgh, Millbrook, Spring Valley and John Jay — were selected. “The result is a trove of rich and diverse pieces,” said Gallery 66 NY owner Barbara Galazzo, who this year for the third time has offered students a chance to exhibit their work in a professional gallery.
