The 2023 Aim $500 scholarship was awarded to Douglas High School student Paloma Moon for her pen and ink drawing “Scarlett” by the Capital City Arts Initiative.
Moon will begin her studies at the University of Nevada, Reno, in the fall.
Spring Forward 2023, a Capital City Arts Initiative student exhibition, is on display today through Friday at the Community Development Building (the Brick), 108 E Proctor Street, Carson City. The Brick is open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon and 1-4 p.m. An exhibition video tour featuring interviews with the artists will be available soon.
Ceramics, sketching, painting, and mixed media are among the art media featured in Spring Forward 2023.
“(The initiative) is proud present this show of our area’s creative high school talent,” said Executive Director Sharon Rosse. “The students’ art goes far beyond one’s expectations of sophistication and demonstrates their accomplished, diverse, and creative achievements.”
Moon was an American Visions nominee whose work was on display at the Nevada Museum of Art earlier this year. She received gold keys for her drawing “Greg” and her art portfolio “Classmates” and two silver keys at the annual Scholastic Art Awards.
