Hilton High School Art Students featured in IACC Art Galleria delle Arti

Six Hilton High School art students have been selected to participate in the January Art Show at Rochester's Italian American Community Center Gallery [IACC].  The show opened Jan. 11 and will run through the month of January from 9 am to 5 pm at the IACC, 150 Frank DiMino Way [off Manitou Rd.], Rochester.  Directions to IACC.

Students of Art Program Coordinator and High School Art Instructor Jan Dentino, the students are: Leann DiBisceglie, Tori DePalma, Andrea Hagen, Rachel Johnson, Amanda Keirstead and Julia Palozzi.  The works include drawings of nature, portraits and mixed media.  Leanna, Tori and Amanda are students in the International Baccalaureate Visual Art course.  All students are enrolled in advanced art courses.

The IACC Revolving Art Exhibit features the work of students who are excelling in art at area high schools. Hilton High School as well as Gates-Chili and Spencerport High Schools were represented. 

"The IACC endeavors to encourage the community youth and to engage them in participation of community programs," writes IACC newsletter reporter Karen Sterlace.  "This endeavor is made possible by a donation from Anna Vivinetto whose son was encouraged by similar scholastic art shows while in high school and continued on to a successful career in graphic design, advertising and marketing."
