This year’s MoCA CT High School Art Exhibition theme examines the intricate balance between human activity and Earth’s biodiversity. While industrialization, deforestation, and pollution have driven species toward extinction and accelerated climate change, efforts to conserve and protect are gaining ground. Through art, we explore the evolving relationship between humans and nature, revealing both the harm caused and the resilience needed for restoration. While traditional forms like painting, drawing, and photography are welcome, we strongly encourage students to explore conceptual works in video, sound art, installation, and free standing and pedestal-hold sculptures.
