INSPIRED 8
REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL EXHIBITION

January 19 – February 8, 2023

All works within Inspired 8 were created in response to exhibitions seen at BAM during the previous fall: People / Places / Things, an exhibition exploring realism, along with two concurrent exhibitions titled Unlatched and Soon to Be Beachfront Property.
