Visual Art

From their earliest years, Maret students explore different materials and concepts in their study of art. More importantly, they discover who they are as individuals and members of their community, and how they can use art to express their thoughts and visions. See what they've been up to!

A highlight of the year is our annual spring All-School Art Show. Each student has the opportunity to display his or her master work in a sprawling gallery-style setting. The event draws visitors from beyond our campus who come to admire the talent and skill of our K-12 artists.
