The Willits High School Art Department is proud to present the 26th annual Art Under Twenty student and ALUMNI art exhibition at the Willits Center for the Arts.
We plan to welcome the following artists who have agreed to show their work:
Velvet Bandit

Alyssa Fraser
Maya Joy Griffin

Ann McGratten
Ellie Miller
Holly Madrigal
Malakai Shindel

The show will be dedicated to the magnificent Kathleen Kirkpatrick, WHS Emerita. We thought it would be lovely to honor Kathleen who has recently passed by inviting her former students to show their work. Kathleen was a remarkable force of nature who passionaTely taught visual arts at WHS for 25 years! She started the Art Under Twenty exhibit in 2000. She searched for a place where her students could show their work but nothing was quite right until the Willits Center for the Arts opened and serendipitously AU20 was born. Kathleen's dream came true and now we're about to celebrate our 26th year.
Please join us for the opening reception Friday, April 4, from 3-7pm. You will have a chance to meet the artists, see their work and have refreshments. For any questions, please contact carolynbakewell@willitsunified.com.
