A collaboration of the museum and the Massachusetts Art Education Association, Art All State brings together talented high school juniors from across the state for an intensive two-day art experience that is intended to help them think creatively about themselves and the role that art can play in life after high school. The students collaborate with artist/mentors to create eight group installations inspired by the museum’s collections.  Each group is led by two professional artists who help facilitate the students in the creative process. The artists, who came from a variety of different art disciplines, also act as mentors for the students.

Admission to Art All State requires a written application, several pieces of art work and a personal interview. This year 240 high school students applied for 140 available positions.




Falmouth Academy sophomores to International science fair

Falmouth Academy sophomores Carlo Bocconcelli and Luke Johns will take their independent research project to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Pittsburgh May 13-18.

They earned the invitation because their team project, “Protist abundance and trophic diversity in areas of varied eutrophication,” won a first prize at the South Shore Regional Science Fair in March. Carlo and Luke worked with Dr. William Orsi as a mentor in Dr. Virginia Edgcomb’s lab at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
