MCASD is excited to host an Extended School Partnership showcase with Mesa Verde Middle School this Winter!

Taking inspiration from MCASD’s exhibition, For Dear Life: Art, Medicine, and Disability, students learned how contemporary artists explore life and health alongside social movements from the 60s to 2020. Working with their teachers and MCASD educators, these young artists then created art pieces inspired by their intersectional experiences and community support systems.

Mesa Verde Middle School 8th graders in Advance Studio Arts will showcase their art in Gordon Gray Gallery from from March 14, 2025 – April 6, 2025.

Showcase dates are open to the public during our gallery hours: Thursday – Saturday from 11AM – 7PM and Sunday from 11AM – 5PM.
