The first-quarter winner of the Mary Campbell Easel Award is Albi Barnes '25.
Barnes has been a student at BGA for six years, and his winning piece is a painting entitled, "Tuning Out."
Both the Junior Mary Campbell Easel Award and Mary Campbell Easel Award were established to honor Mary Campbell's memory and her love of art. Each quarter, BGA art teachers review the work of current art students and choose a piece felt to exemplify the qualities BGA students strive to achieve: creativity, effort, and quality. The Junior award is displayed on an easel in the upper hallway of the Mary Campbell Visual Arts Center for the entire next quarter. The standard award for the Upper School is displayed on an easel in the front hallway of the Mary Campbell Visual Art Center for the entire next quarter.
