GLENSIDE – The North Penn High School (NPHS) Art Department is very proud to announce that artworks from 23 NPHS students have been accepted into the 2019 Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) “Touch the Future” Art Show that opened last Sunday at Arcadia University.

The event is free and open to the public through March 28 during gallery hours. It is sponsored by the Pennsylvania State Education Association, Mideastern Region(PSEA/MER), and the Council for the Advancement of Public Schools (CAPS) to provide an opportunity for students to participate in a juried exhibition and showcase the wide-ranging art opportunities available to students in the region.

This year’s show features 350 total student works from 30 different high schools that were selected by a representative from Temple University’s Tyler School of Art. The name of the annual juried show hails from the sponsors’ desire to pay tribute to Christa McAuliffe, the first teacher in space who perished aboard the space shuttle Challenger and was known to have said, “I touch the future. I teach.”
