Making Their Mark: The Next Generation

Berkeley Art Museum
March 26-April 20, 2025

Organized as a collaboration between the Arts and Humanities Academy at Berkeley High School and BAMPFA’s Education Department, this monthlong show presents work in a range of media by students in Berkeley High School’s senior AP Art class made in response to the exhibition Making Their Mark: Works from the Shah Garg Collection.

A Partnership with NYC Department of Education

From November 2nd, 2023 to March 23, 2024, the Shah Garg Foundation welcomed over 500 NYC students and 125+ teachers to Making Their Mark. The Foundation’s partnership with New York City Public Schools has aimed to foster a welcoming, collaborative space for teachers to develop their curriculum and for student to be inspired.

During class visits, students had the opportunity to sketch drawings of the works by women artists in Making Their Mark. Back in their classrooms, they expanded upon these sketches, creating over 91 works for Making Their Mark: The Next Generation, a student exhibition on view during the last week of Making Their Mark.
