Carmel High students were prompted to react artistically to the racially motivated killings in Charleston, North Carolina when nine churchgoers were killed by a white supremacist last summer.
The result will be on display at 2 p.m. Sunday, during the opening of the "Teens, Art and Social Justice" exhibit at the Monterey Peninsula Justice Center, 1364 Fremont Blvd.
Art and graphic design classes were inspired to react to the tragic event and other issues such as Black Lives Matter, bullying, the environment, LGBTQ rights, and mental health, which are important to teens.
Students created art pieces expressing their ideas about social justice, using various mediums, including digital graphic art and oil painting
The works displayed are from the classes of art teacher, Steven Russell and graphic design teacher, Holly Lederle.
The MPJC Art Gallery is open 1 – 5:30 Wednesday and Friday. The exhibit may also be viewed during events at the Monterey Peace and Justice Center, 1364 Fremont Blvd., Seaside.
The exhibit will be on display through June.
