About this exhibition

In This Little Light of Mine: A Teen Perspective on Joy, teen artists explore what feeds the human spirit.

Every year MOWA’s Teen Council invite their peers to reflect on contemporary issues and thinking in a special annual exhibition organized by Teen Council members. This year, students were asked to consider how their lives foster joy, and to view the exhibition as an opportunity to celebrate both the mundane and extraordinary—in details about themselves, their journeys, relationships, communities, or the surrounding world that nourish their souls. This Little Light of Mine: A Teen Perspective on Joy encourages teens to be mindful of what fills their own cup but also how they contribute to the joy of others.

The exhibition features artworks from thirty-three regional high schools. Art educators from each school selected one piece to represent their art program and this year’s exhibition theme.
