This exhibit features artwork made by high school students participating in the Phipps Fairchild Challenge, an environmental education outreach program designed to give high school and middle school students an opportunity to creatively shine

In this first challenge of the 2019 – 2020 challenge year, students were asked to take inspiration from Phipps’ 2019 Summer Flower Show which was informed by works of Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890).  Van Gogh often depicted breathtaking natural scenes in his paintings, and students were asked to do the same, using their favorite nature spots as the subjects and Van Gogh’s style of bold brush strokes and contrasting colors if they wished.
