Student Exhibition - Portrait Mode: Self-reflections From Past, Present, and Future
Chris and Bernard Marden Community Gallery
Student Exhibition 2025–2026
As the Norton Museum of Art hosts special exhibition Art and Life in Rembrandt’s Time: Masterpieces from the Leiden Collection, we invite students to explore portraits and character studies by leading artists of 17th-century Netherlands. Featuring more than 70 works of art—including 17 by Rembrandt—this exhibition is a rare opportunity for students to tap into the artist’s remarkable ability to capture human expression and emotion. Moreover, these timeless treasures are great for examining the always-relevant theme of portraiture and comprehending its evolution over the centuries.
The Museum encourages students from Palm Beach County middle and high schools to submit original works of art inspired by the following theme: Portrait Mode: Self-reflections From Past, Present, and Future.
