2022 PARTS OF A WHOLE
In the summer of 2022, two current Harrison County highschool students and one recent graduate were brought together to create work related to the idea of “Parts of a Whole.”
During the three week program, creative director Addison Moore led the three students- Demaree Lemons, Grace Wilson, and Marlee Harris- as they searched for aspects of the theme to create from. Students explored concepts related to self, community, and the connections between the two. The students were visited by the founding members of the Boyd’s Station Artist Guild to discuss the motivations behind their work and their own future artistic careers.
The resulting collaborative body of work makes a statement about the collective whole- focusing on subjects including people and places that come together to define a community.

2021 HOME
In the Summer of 2021, four Harrison County High School students- Cameron Jones, Isa Sims, Kristin Whitehead, and Martina Roque- came together to create work around the central theme of “home”.
Throughout the 3-week program, creative directors Addison Moore and Brenna Pepke led hands on group workshops while also joined by various guest artists. Students dove into the specific, the familiar, and the unfamiliar to help discover what exactly home was to them.
The students then worked independently and collaboratively towards this collective theme in their chosen mediums. The resulting pieces explore the self as home, the body, family, and self-confidence.

2020 POCKET PARK
While the COVID-19 crisis was impacting the world around us, the Boyd’s Station SHOW & TELL students made this program a success in Harrison County in a manner safe for the participants and the community during the summer of 2020.
SHOW & TELL creative directors Shai Bardin and Carolyn Rogers brought together three Harrison County High School students - Marshall Canupp, Addison Moore and Brooklynn McFarland - to collaborate on a theme during this modified and social-distance minded session.
These students drew from their individual creative talents, their own unique perspectives and their experiences in Harrison County to create individual works they chose to pursue while collaborating as a group to illustrate a common theme.
