I would always be super nervous about showing my paintings because they might not have been good enough, but being able to exhibit in the Student Art Program has helped me see that everyone has a different meaning and perspective on their art. Therefore, no one’s art is ever going to look the same and no one is ever going to be at the same pace as the next person in front of them. –SAP artist
