(Morristown, NJ, February 2023) — Morris Museum is proud to share works in various media including photography, drawing, painting, digital art, and sculpture, created by New Jersey’s most talented young artists. Participants continue to inspire our community with their thought-provoking works and unique perspectives about art and the world around them. Fresh Perspectives 2023 is a juried high school art on-line virtual gallery and curated exhibition hosted by the Morris Museum. The exhibition will be on view February 17 through May 14, 2023.  

This year’s hybrid exhibition includes selected works in the Museum’s Bickford Gallery and the work of all 50 finalists in the Fresh Perspectives online exhibition catalog. Now in its 34th year, the juried competition began in 1989 as an outlet for artistically accomplished New Jersey high school students to express their curiosity and creativity. The Morris Museum looks forward to upcoming years that will celebrate the next generation of artists, teachers who mentor and guide their students, and family and friends who nurture and support these creative endeavors. 

This exhibition is organized by Anne Ricculli, Ph.D., Director of Exhibits and Collections at the Morris Museum.
