Starting soon at Gallery 114, you can get a glimpse of some of the exceptional talent from young people in the Tampa Bay area. The Blake High School Master Certification Exhibition will be held at the HCC Ybor Art Gallery and feature work from high school students. Students must take an impressive number of art classes to feature in this final exhibit.
How students receive Master Certification
To receive the distinction of a Master Certification, students must take a rigorous set of art classes within their four-year high school program. These classes produce works that culminate in the development of a cohesive art portfolio. Linda Galgani started the program in 1999. She’s one of the lead art faculty members at the school. Her work in the classroom and as an artist centers on photography. She is an advocate for visual arts and education.
