AVPA Art Students Tour, “In Wonderland….”

at LA County Museum of Art

It’s the best time of the year for AVPA Art’s five high school interns at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Emily Wood, Edna Vogel, Marilyn Liu, Michelle Bac, and Azalie Welsh have all been working on designing their own interactive tours for the past few months, focusing on an special exhibition of surrealist art created by women artists from Mexico and the United States.

Now that April is upon us, the Culver City students are leading groups of high school and middle school students from all over L.A. on the tours they each researched and designed, enthusiastically introducing peers to In Wonderland!

The Academy of Visual and Performing Arts (AVPA) at Culver City High has been inspiring and empowering students to build a compassionate, creative community through innovative and challenging arts education since 1996.
