Sussex Academy hosted a showcase of the arts May 19, with various installations of student artwork on display followed by a band and choral concert. The art show, curated by high school visual arts teacher Rebecca Frankum, included myriad pieces from a year’s worth of studies, from acrylic painting and collage, to monoprints and block prints, and embroidery to photography. The concert, led by band director Michael Marotta and choral director Christopher Decker, featured the middle and high school bands and choirs, and the high school symphonic and jazz bands. “It was an exciting night for the students,” Marotta said. “They played and sang beautifully! We also want to wish the band and choir seniors the best of luck next year: Abby Tatman, Oliver Graves, Gio Porfido, Chase Reynolds and Evan Spanos.”
