BRILLIANT STAR GALLERY
The Brilliant Star Gallery is dedicated to featuring quality fine art created by children and youth. Its purpose is to provide a venue for young artists who might benefit from the exposure by building confidence and giving credit to accomplishments that will contribute to an impressive biography or advancement towards a career in the field of arts.
Luna Fine Art Gallery has been inspired by the current efforts in the local communities and would like to expand opportunities to all students from 4th grade to high school. Private and public school group admissions and homeschool individual submissions are welcome. Artwork may be for sale or display only. A process of submission with guidelines and contracts for display and payment will be used.
The Brilliant Star of Luna Fine Art Gallery is part of The Hive, Innisfree Hotels’ corporate social responsibility program whose goal is to connect communities through the arts. Our goal is to encourage, support and celebrate the creative development and progress of students and their school or institution.
“We want our children and youth to be creative and develop as a whole person by encouraging students to become the kind of artist they are meant to be.” — Dr. Lisa Puzon, Luna Fine Art Gallery Director and Art Director for Dixon School of Arts & Sciences.
