An extensive gallery exhibition exploring self-image featuring an intergenerational group of artists, including Borrego Springs High School students mentored by Jake Freilich as well as Candlewood Arts Festival artists, past and present
Jake Freilich worked with over 40 students from Borrego Springs High School, mentoring them since the fall to create artwork and organize an exhibition as part of the Festival. The result is WE YOU ME, an extensive gallery exhibition that showcases an intergenerational group of artists exploring self-image. This is the third year that Frielich has worked closely with students at Borrego Springs High School, and the second year of collaboration with welding teacher Mike Kitten and his students. This year, the large gallery space not only allowed for a more extensive range of works by the young artists, but also an opportunity to include work by artists from Los Angeles and San Diego who have participated in Candlewood in years past.
