Teen Art Program: Pieces of Everyone
artists: Amber, Besime, Grace, Joyce-Karen, Rhex and Lanelle
What pieces of ourselves do we reveal when we make art—and which ones do we keep out of frame?
This spring, students from Brighton High School and Mary Lyon Pilot High School launched the Harvard Ed Portal’s new Teen Art Program. Together, they explored the role art can play in their lives after high school and learned about professional exhibition design, curation, and presentation as they co-created this group show. Pieces of Everyone showcases their bold portraits, imagined characters, digital illustrations, paintings, drawings, and woven fiber work, all created in and out of school. These works offer glimpses of identity, community, and possibility.
Come see how Boston’s young artists are piecing together who they are—and who they’re becoming.
Up next: Seeds of Home by Tashi Haig
Step into a quiet realm where layered worlds unfold. In this exhibition, artist Tashi Haig brings together clay and hand-cut paper to explore the ways nature connects people across distance and time. Ceramic figures, fruit, and small creatures emerge among cascading paper leaves, inviting you to slow down and notice the details that root us to place and to one another. Drawing from both Boston’s everyday greenery and the landscapes of her maternal lineage/heritage in Cyprus, Haig’s work reflects on how culture, memory, and environment intertwine. The exhibition traces shared human experiences, tenderness, memory, and resilience, through natural forms that feel at once familiar and newly seen.
