What a fabulous night of art and family fun we had at our Explore Art Gallery Walk! Our students showcased their recent art projects, displaying their talents across multiple mediums.

A Huge Huckleberry High Five to our Team Leads: Nicki Schulman, Parvoneh Neilsen, and Jessica Lake as well as our rockstar VP, Malaika Silliker, a trusted advisor who helped us find and solve so many problems. Your dedication and hard work to create this event is appreciated by everyone in the Twain community.

The artwork was wonderful! Our students loved getting to walk through the gallery together during the school day — and their looks of joy as they point out their pieces to their families are always the highlight of the evening. Thank you for showing up for your kids. Your presence means everything to them. We hope to see you and your growing artists back again next year!
