Unified Art Gallery 2023!

Presented by Visual Arts Rangers at Clements HS & SOTX

Clements High School held a Unified Art Gallery in the library on December 1st, organized by Ms. Tee. The Unified Art Club spent weeks crafting wonderful pieces of art for the community. Later that afternoon, they displayed their art in the library, and family, friends, and members of the community came and celebrated what it means to be Unified!

Participating Unified Art Club members were awarded prizes for the top pieces by the Clements High School principal. Athletes presented an art piece to the 7 partners and coaches as a token of appreciation, and the coaches gave the athletes a gift as well. Check out photos from the Unified Art Gallery 2023 below!

Watch an amazing documentary below about the Unified Art Gallery that was filmed throughout the experience, and gives the perspective of the athletes, partners, and the art teacher, as well!
