Sid Jacobson JCC’s Biennial Juried Art Exhibition is currently on display through Saturday, Aug. 12.
Artists were asked to interpret the theme, “Somehow, Somewhere, Someone and Something,” with two- and three-dimensional work.
Artists of all ages submitted pieces to the juried exhibition, including two elementary school students.
Ella Graziani of Roslyn, a first grader at Heights Elementary School, is the youngest artist who has her artwork on display in the exhibition.
Mia Kamensky, a fifth grader at Solomon Schechter School of Long Island in Jericho, also has her artwork on display.
“I know there is a lot of hatred and anger in the world right now,” said Kamensky. “I hope that somehow, somewhere, someone or something will soon make everybody realize that even though we might have our differences, we all share a common bond in that we are human beings and must treat each other kindly and respectfully.”
