The week of Oct. 26, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta began showcasing art made by some Sequoyah students. Thirteen students had their art on display in a Pop-Up Art Exhibition at the Greene Family Education Center in the museum.  

Junior Kaley Miller found out about this opportunity through National Art Honor Society.

“Mrs. Holtzer sent out the information to students who are a part of NAHS as an opportunity to earn points for the club,” Miller said. 

When Miller first found out about this opportunity, she had high hopes of getting her artwork displayed. She felt very fortunate for this experience. 

“The High Museum is one of the most well-recognized [museums] in the Southeast, so it seemed like a great opportunity to get my work out there,” Miller said. 

After submitting her piece, Miller was very excited when she found out her artwork would be displayed at the High Museum.  

“[It is] exciting getting to have [my] art showcased at a museum where some of [my] favorite artists’ work has been on display,” Miller said. 

Having her artwork displayed was also very special for senior Abigail Warren. Warren submitted one her favorite pieces to the exhibition because she wanted to have her strongest piece on display. 

“I love art, and the High Museum has always fascinated me, so I jumped at the chance to have one of my pieces there,” Warren said.  

Warren shared similar feelings to Miller when her artwork was selected to be displayed. 

“I was ecstatic because my work could be seen in a public, popular place,” Warren said. 

Warren hopes to pursue art in her future. 

“I plan on going to college for art and hope to be an interior designer or something that incorporates art,” Warren said. 

Both Miller and Warren have been interested in art ever since they could hold a crayon. Thus, having their art on display at the High Museum is quite the achievement for them.  

“I loved doing crafts, doodling, and sketching at a young age; I’ve always found myself enjoying some form of art,” Miller said.  

Because of their love for art, Miller and Warren are also members of the school’s art program. Warren has been a member since she transferred from Creekview High School during the second semester of her junior year, and Miller has been a member for two years. 

Having been involved with art for so long, their future aspirations revolve around this passion.  

“I hope to always be working on art in some shape or form,” Miller said. “[Art] allows me to share my ideas and beliefs in a form of which I’m proud of, [so] if I could create a career around my artwork in some way, that would be neat.”
