Kleefeld Contemporary Museum Trip with AURA Students - October 20, 2025

AURA Visual Arts students visited the Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum and viewed the current exhibit “Solastalgia” including work from Velia De Iuliis, Saif Azzuz and installation art from Christine Nguyen.


AURA students embrace a variety of field study opportunities. Their engaging perspective appreciates critical, global thinking and encourages a deeper understanding of the relevancy of art and cultural history.

AURA students Mariana Gomez, Moses Infante, and Angelina Sanchez created original artwork prompted by the Museum’s challenge “What do you want the future of your community to look like?” Their original mixed media paintings will be on display in the community student gallery at the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum until November 22nd.

Personalized Thank You cards, Flowers, and small gifts go a long way in showing appreciation! Teaching supplies like nice pens! Gifts a teacher can use every day beyond pencils and books like Tumblers or Mugs!

AURA Academy values creative thinking as much as critical thinking. Both are needed to prepare students to effectively solve problems in the changing environment of the 21st century. In a recent interview with our gifted visual arts teacher, Kate Lyons Landry (katelyonslandry.com), she noted that:
When considering a high school, academic rigor is a key consideration because, to get into good universities, one needs to demonstrate superior academic qualifications. It would be even better if those qualifications were translated into college-level credits saving students (and families) considerable time and money.
Education is a transformative journey, and high school students often find themselves at the crossroads of choosing the right academic path.
