Lenox Library is pleased to host No Mud, Not Lotus: Lenox Student Art Show from November 22-December 16, 2022 in the Welles Gallery.
Lenox Memorial Middle and High School (LMMHS) Students are invited to respond to the theme of “No Mud, No Lotus.” This metaphor is a way of identifying and expressing the mud of our lives (pandemic, loss, isolation, etc.) and learning that out of that very mud, our lotuses (gifts, talents, unique beauty) emerge; that painful or difficult experiences are the raw material to create happier life experiences and insights.
Eileen Mahoney, Interfaith Reverend and creator of Viriditas: Greening of the Soul, and Deirdre McKenna, Creative Services Manager for the Lenox Chamber of Commerce, will co-chair. LMMHS art teachers Karen Romeo-Leger and Alexa Bermudez will present the theme to students.
The project will culminate in an art show in the Welles Gallery. Three scholarship awards will be given to Senior students, chosen by a panel of jurors, for works that demonstrate artistic excellence.
