Danbury, CT – Trailer Box Project is pleased to present an exhibition of artwork by the National Arts Honors Society students at Danbury High School. The exhibit features works inspired by found objects and will run through June 11th.

Award-winning sculptor and Trailer Box Project founder Jim Felice challenged the NAHS students to utilizes various objects from his sculpture studio to create works of art during his speech at the Arts Honors Society induction ceremony in January. Each of the 80 inductees were presented with blocks of wood, metal scraps, and various other industrial objects to act as a catalyst to their creative process. The May 28th exhibition will be a celebration of their artistic accomplishments.

“Many Danbury High School students are unable to take art classes because of scheduling conflicts,” explains NAHS member Gabby Cardoso, “The National Art Honors Society gives us the opportunity to express ourselves creatively, and is an outlet for our artistic talents.”
