Show will be held from March 1 to April 28 in the Atrium Gallery of the studio

PASO ROBLES — Studios on the Park will feature an inspiring art exhibition in honor of Lonnie Hood that showcases a collection of artworks about political, environmental, and social issues by our local middle school and high school students. The “I Have Something To Say” show will be held from March 1 to April 28 in the Atrium Gallery of Studios on the Park.

This exhibition brings together the voices of young artists, offering a unique perspective on the pressing social, political, and environmental challenges that shape our world. The hope is that the exhibition will provoke thought, encourage constructive conversation, challenge perceptions, and inspire a brighter future. The show was curated by Jordan Hockett, operations manager and curator of Studios on the Park. The public is invited to the opening on March 2, with another reception on April 6, both from 6 to 9 p.m.
