Each year, we invite our families and friends in the community to step into the vibrant and awe-inspiring world of ART at The Cushman School’s annual Gallery Walk. This yearly event showcases artwork and creative projects from all Cushman students in Pre-K through High School. It’s a tremendous celebration of the Arts that serves as an important reminder of the significant benefits of incorporating visual arts programming into the School’s curriculum overall since research proves fostering creative problem-solving skills transcends into success in all academic areas. This enriching event transforms the historic campus (located at 60th and Biscayne) into an interactive exhibit and vast outdoor art gallery for many to enjoy.
The theme of the 2025 Gallery Walk is The Cushman School’s 100th anniversary and the focus on tradition, innovation, strength of character and intentional JOYful environment that had contributed to Cushman’s significant legacy. From stunning paintings and sculptures to intricate ceramics and thought-provoking photographs, every piece on display tells a story about what contributes to Cushman’s century of excellence.
History of The Cushman School Gallery Walk
The Gallery Walk is a beloved school tradition that has been celebrated over the decades and has become a platform for students to showcase their artistic prowess and gain recognition for their hard work. It provides a valuable opportunity for them to develop their skills, experiment with different mediums, and express themselves creatively.
The success of the School’s Gallery Walk can be attributed to the dedication and passion of not only the Visual Arts Team but the entire faculty’s commitment to fostering a nurturing and supportive environment for all students to explore and express themselves creatively in various lessons.
The unique experience of the Gallery Walk
The atmosphere at The Cushman School Gallery Walk is one of excitement and curiosity, with our students and families eagerly exploring each exhibit and engaging with the incredible work showcased around campus.
Ranging from beautiful sunflower paintings by the youngest artists in the nursery to STEAM innovations and video productions from upper school students, the overall presentation gives Art Basel some neighborly competition! Music from the steelpan performers and singing from the Voices of Cushman and Half Notes kicks of the events. The combination of visual and performing arts creates a dynamic and multi-sensory experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
The Significance of the Gallery Walk
The Cushman School Gallery Walk stands as a testament to the power of art to inspire, transform, and bring our school community together. The event not only celebrates the creativity and imagination of its participants but also fosters a greater appreciation for the Arts overall.
While this day is set aside to honor the Arts, it is only a snapshot that visibly reflects the intention and time The Cushman School places on ensuring music, creative expression, and inclusive collaborative projects are integral parts of the Cushman experience.
“The exhibits are always SENSATIONAL, INNOVATIVE AND MEANINGFUL! The integration of art into aspects of the curriculum and across our wonderful Pre-K through High School programming is seamlessly done.” – Dr. Arvi Balseiro, Head of School
