As a member of the Executive Board of the Art Administrators of NJ, I am thrilled to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Neto's student, Isabella Held Gonzalez, for receiving a prestigious Merit Award for her sculpture at the 2025 Emerging Artist High School Exhibition! This remarkable achievement highlights Isabella's immense talent and dedication to her craft.
Isabella will soon have the exciting opportunity to submit a portfolio for adjudication by the AANJ Executive Board for the esteemed Governor's Award. This is a significant step in her artistic journey, and we are eager to see her work recognized at this level.
This year, we celebrate the 37th anniversary of our show, which proudly features the creative works of thirty-three students from twenty-four high schools across New Jersey. The exhibition was adjudicated by a panel of four distinguished Fine Art Professors from Kean University, ensuring a high standard of evaluation.
The show and award presentation will take place this Sunday, from 1:00-3:00 PM, at the James Howe Gallery in the Vaughn Eames Building at Kean University, located at 1000 Morris Avenue, Union. We invite everyone to join us in celebrating the incredible talents of our young artists.
As one of the nine award winners in the AANJ 37th Annual High School Art Show, Emerging Artists, Isabella is not only recognized for her artistic achievements but is also eligible for the 2025 AANJ High School Achievement Award. This award acknowledges her outstanding talents with a monetary prize and the honor of being our nominee for the New Jersey Governor’s Award in Art Education, managed by Arts Ed New Jersey. Further information will be provided at the Award Ceremony on Sunday, February 2.
A special thank you to Mr. Neto for his unwavering support and mentorship of Isabella. Your dedication has played a vital role in nurturing her artistic journey and helping her achieve this remarkable milestone.
