A fun moment from this past school year! Our high school and middle school students were able to visit the no. 5 Feel Quill art exhibit and got an artist talk from Leslie Iwai.

The exhibit is made up of concrete blocks that have feather quills put through them. The quills emerge from the concrete to form Braille cells. Students were able to interact and read the art, along with asking the artist questions about the exhibit and her career.

Thank you to Leslie Iwai and the Abel Contemporary Gallery for hosting us! Photo credits: Barry Sherbeck
