TAKING SHAPE
Taking Shape showcases the next wave of creativity from Austin’s Liberal Arts and Science Academy
As the world evolves, so too does our visual landscape. The younger generation of artists approaches art with curiosity, imagination, and fearless experimentation. Join Bolm Arts as we welcome back the students of LASA in a multi-media exhibition!
The Liberal Arts and Science Academy, our neighbor in East Austin, is a four-year comprehensive, public, urban, advanced academic magnet high school of approximately 1,600 students in the Austin Independent School District. The program recruits the most academically advanced students from public and private middle schools in Austin; as such, admission to LASA is competitive, based on test scores, previous accomplishments, and teacher recommendations. LASA educates socially responsible leaders, problem solvers, and thinkers through a nationally recognized, rigorous, innovative, interdisciplinary curriculum.â

Bolm Arts has partnered with AISD Visual Arts to curate ongoing professional exhibitions built around a shared theme with the educational gallery space inside the Austin ISD Performing Arts Center.
This new initiative will allow students and families to experience professional artwork alongside their own, building a bridge between classroom learning and the professional arts world! The current show, Word Play, is curated by Bolm Arts Collective members Devin Alejandro-Wilder, Sydney Dettmar and Stephanie Mervine. Bolm Arts will also feature a rotating body of work by collective members throughout the year in the shared gallery space.
Look for upcoming calls for entry!
