Growing Pains is a juried student art exhibition that encouraged student artists to submit work that explores ideas revolving around themes of growing up and experiencing childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. How much can a person transform throughout these years? How are we the same? How are we different? How do we metamorphose? 

Students from Academies of Loudoun, American University, Arizona State University, Briar Woods High School, Corcoran School of the Arts and Design at the George Washington University, Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Johns Hopkins University, Landon School, Sidwell Friends, Wesleyan University, and Westfield High School are respresented in the exhibition.

A reception will be held on Saturday, February 24 from 3-5 pm.

Growing Pains jurors were:

• Alicia Perkovich, NMWA Public Programs

• Daryle Locko, Artist, National Gallery of Art Retail Programs & Touchstone Gallery Assistant

• Julia Canora, Artist and Touchstone Gallery Curatorial Intern
