Bolm Arts is proud to present “Taking Shape", a new exhibition showcasing the next wave of creativity from Austin’s Liberal Arts and Science Academy. As the world evolves, so too does our visual landscape. The younger generation of artists approaches art with curiosity, imagination, and fearless experimentation. Join Bolm Arts as we welcome back the students of LASA in a multi-media exhibition!
The Liberal Arts and Science Academy, our neighbor in East Austin, is a four-year comprehensive, public, urban, advanced academic magnet high school of approximately 1,600 students in the Austin Independent School District. The program recruits the most academically advanced students from public and private middle schools in Austin; as such, admission to LASA is competitive, based on test scores, previous accomplishments, and teacher recommendations. LASA educates socially responsible leaders, problem solvers, and thinkers through a nationally recognized, rigorous, innovative, interdisciplinary curriculum.
