The Austin Museum of Art Arthouse's fourteenth annual "Ahead of Their Time" exhibition has selected six pieces by St. Andrew's advanced art students. These pieces were chosen from 1,250 submissions by 250 students in the Austin area. The exhibition runs through April 21, 2013 at the Jones Center located at 7th and Congress.

The five artists are seniors Rathana Amelio (her work pictured here), Rachel Dimston, Sara Jane Johnson, Nick Osella, and junior David Dille, who had two pieces selected for the show. You can see photographs of these pieces here.

Congratulations to these fine artists and their teachers, Susan Kemner Reed and Chris McCoy.

Senior William Howard directed "Biloxi Blues" in the fall, and on January 7-9, three more seniors presented plays they had chosen, cast and directed.  Each proved to be engaging and impressive. Trace Turner directed "Playing with Fire;" Charlie Dennis directed "Red;" and Lily Schmitz directed "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown."   Each was staged in a different part of the Dell Fine Arts Center to more vividly express the intent of the individual play. Audiences regaled each performance with praise, and Drama Director Rick Garcia expressed enormous pride in his students.

The Dell Theater in the new Dell Fine Arts Center played host to the even for the first time, and the audience enjoyed the films on the big screen from stadium seats.

If you weren't able to make it, five of the films are available online for you to watch. Enjoy!
