Hera Gallery is pleased to present the Young Adult's Exhibition in February of 2011. We are excited to invite all High School aged artists to participate in this exhibition, either independently or via their High School art teacher. In addition to submitting work for the exhibition, Hera also offers all high school students the chance to submit a piece to be featured on the front of the 2011 Young Adult’s Exhibition Announcement Card Competition.

This year we are also excited to be hosting a night of student films in conjunction with the Young Adult’s Exhibition.
