Shared Spaces is an annual high school art teacher/student show, designed to celebrate the unique apprenticeship process that occurs between teacher and student. Each teacher submits one piece of his/her own work that was created within the last 3 years and selects one student to show with. To honor the concept of gallery space being equal, the work is displayed without identifying whether a teacher or a student created it.

This year's exhibit features 53 teacher/student pairs.

Special Gallery Hours: May 31-June 14, 2013,Tuesday-Friday 4-8 p.m.; Saturday-Sunday 12-5 p.m.
