Westlake High Graduate's Art On Display at Cleveland Hopkins

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport is hosting a special exhibit featuring select pieces from the 2011 EXPLORERS and eXpressions programs, including a piece from 2011 graduate Janey Eager.

The exhibit officially opened yesterday and will be on display on the ticketing level next to the Delta Airlines counter, opposite the skyway that connects the parking garages to the airport. The exhibition runs through March 1.

Eager won a blue ribbon for her piece, “Waiting On Fate,” in the 2011 eXpressions art program.

EXPLORERS is a program that uses creativity to engage kindergarten through eighth grade students in the study of health and wellness. Cleveland Clinic medical professionals speak to area art classes on important health issues and the students use creative interpretation to create pieces of art related to the topics discussed.

The eXpressions art program utilizes the arts to engage high school students in the world of scientific research. Through project-based, peer-to-peer learning, students produce creative interpretations of research conducted by Cleveland Clinic summer interns. The program gives participants a deeper, real-world understanding of art and science while promoting creativity, communication, critical thinking and teamwork.
