West Islip High School student-artists Cadence Olsen and Joy Reese have been selected to have their artwork displayed in the New York State Art Teachers Association’s 2023 Legislative Student Art Exhibit. The NYSATA Legislative Exhibit is the flagship event for Youth Art Month and NYSATA's largest public display of student artwork in a government building. The exhibit is co-sponsored by New York State United Teachers. This student art exhibit is held in the legislative office building in Albany each spring, providing an exciting opportunity for students and their families to connect with their legislators. Legislators from across the state are invited to recognize the artistic accomplishments of their aspiring artist constituents. Student artwork can be viewed online on the virtual art exhibit through December 2023.
