Tapped for Parrish Awards

The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill recently honored 10 South Fork students among the winners of its 60th student exhibition, which took place in February.

From East Hampton High School, four students were given awards of excellence for high school seniors: Marvin Yanes Chavez for three-dimensional assemblage, Wylee Musnicki for painting, Nicole Forrester for photography, and Joffre Contreras for printmaking and mixed media.

Nissu Wang and Eric Wu from the Ross School won senior awards for drawing and illustration, as did Tina Shibano for painting. Elizabeth Hochstedler from the Bridgehampton School and Shanti Escalante from Pierson High School received senior awards for painting, and Max Micallef from Pierson won one for photography.

These students were selected from among more than 150 whose works were displayed at the Parrish last month. Neill Slaughter, a professor of visual art at Long Island University’s C.W. Post campus, chose the award winners.
