The student art show, “Labor, Leadership, and Legacy,” will be on display through Monday, September 29, at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture, 830 E. Pratt St., Baltimore 21202. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. The museum charges admission but is free to Maryland public school educators.

Students in Grades 10-12 from all Maryland school districts could submit artwork for consideration. In celebration of the museum’s 20th anniversary, students were encouraged to create artwork honoring the legacies of iconic Maryland leaders, trailblazers, entrepreneurs, and visionaries. The High School Juried Art Show coincides with a larger museum exhibition, “TITAN: The Legacy of Reginald F. Lewis.”

The Lewis Museum partnered with the Maryland State Education Association to produce the High School Juried Art Show.
