Cabinet 53 Art Exhibit Showcases Westonka Seniors

By Laura Hensley and Becca Heistad

Cabinet 53, the Mound Westonka High School A.P. art show, is presented now through April 5 at Your Art’s Desire Gallery of Art & Framing in Minnetonka.

The exhibit features the art of MWHS seniors Quinn Leonard, Selena Nash, Katey Nelson, Jess Novack, Victoria Perry, Grace Polusny, Ashley Rosenberg, Dani Schoenecker and Grette Treat.

“I find that for high school students to get to work with a gallery and exhibit alongside professional artists is such an invaluable experience!” A.P. studio art teacher Laura Hensley said. “So many college graduates have not yet been given this opportunity or gained the insight on how to go about professionally approaching a gallery owner or curator. I am proud of the level that our MWHS students are creating at and we are so grateful to Your Art's Desire for allowing us to showcase our students' work in such a professional setting for the fourth year in a row."

All are welcome to attend a meet-the-artist reception Saturday, March 30 from 6-8 p.m.

Gallery Hours:
Monday-Thursday: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
