from the Pasadena Unified School District
"No Boundaries 8," the annual exhibit of student art organized by the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD), opens Friday, May 3 with a reception at 6 PM. The exhibition features more than 400 drawings, paintings, sculptures and videos created by kindergarten-12th grade students from every school in PUSD. The title, "No Boundaries," refers to the exhibit’s objective of showcasing student artwork without limits to the size or media used and to the unlimited creative potential of the students in the district.
In partnership with Vornado Realty Trust, the Pasadena Educational Foundation and the South Lake Business Association, "No Boundaries" will once again be presented at The Shops on Lake at 345 S. Lake Ave. in Pasadena. The exhibit will be on display May 4-19 in retail space located next to Corner Bakery in the space previously occupied by Stein Mart. The gallery hours will be Monday-Friday 3 -6 PM and Saturdays and Sundays 1-4 PM.
The opening reception, which is free and open to the public, will feature live music, choral and dance performances by PUSD students and music from The Staff Lounge, a band comprised of PUSD music teachers. PUSD Board of Education President Renatta Cooper, Superintendent Jon R. Gundry and Congresswoman Judy Chu (32nd District) will deliver remarks at the reception.
Select student artists exhibiting in "No Boundaries 8" will receive scholarships to attend programs at the Armory Center for the Arts and the Art Center College of Design. 60 pieces from the exhibition will be selected by the Pasadena Arts Commission for display at Pasadena City Hall.
