Each year GAC recognizes the rich, imaginative art of young people and the talent and commitment of their arts teachers with a School Invitational Theme Show. When these exhibitions were intitiated in 1993, the theme was conceived as a uniting, creative source for all participants to explore. Over the past eight years, GAC's School Invitational Theme Shows have grown to include 23 schools. | |
| 1998"s "Touched by Matisse" involved over 18 schools (works by over 750 students): 1999'S program "Calder in Motion" involved over 20 schools (works by over 1000 students.) Spring 2000's show, "Art's Around Us: Celebrating 20th Century American Landscape" ran for a full month, using both indoor and outdoor exhibition space. | |
| The School Invitational Theme Show offers an opportunity for young artists and their teachers to immerse themselves in nature and design as a spring board for their own discoveries and creative development, to see their works in beautiful, professionally lit galleries, with show announcements and an art opening. | |
