Coming of Age: Creative Scholars Student Exhibition
Reception: Friday, May 17, 6–8 p.m.
Located in the Edgar Heap of Birds Gallery at Temple Contemporary.
Coming of Age explores the journey of self-discovery, growth, and transformation experienced during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The exhibition delves into the multifaceted aspects of this pivotal stage in life, where individuals grapple with newfound independence, identity formation, and the complexities of navigating the world around them. Through various artistic mediums such as glass, photographs, animations, and films, the student artists offer their unique perspectives on the universal themes of maturation and self-realization.
