M.S. 51 art teacher educates students and community with art exhibit fundraiser
BY HEATHER CHIN AND ELIZABETH COLUCCIO
Art and community have merged at the Old Stone House, where artwork created by M.S. 51 teacher Andrew Hornberger is currently on display in a show called “Creature Comforts,” the opening night of which benefited the school’s art program, which serves students interested in applying to an art-focused high school.
Over $1,000 was raised during the exhibit’s opening night, on November 29, which benefitted the Park Slope middle school’s art program. The funds will go towards art materials and supplies, and perhaps trips for the students, who are in sixth through eighth grades.
