Inside / Outside: LBUSD Middle School Exhibition

Each year, the Long Beach Museum of Art invites Long Beach Unified School District students to submit work responding to a theme.

More about Inside / Outside: LBUSD Middle School Exhibition

This year, students were invited to explore the different parts of their identity: how they see themselves, how they want to be seen, and how their self-expression changes in different spaces. Through their work, students reflected on what feels most true to them, how they are still growing, and what it means to be themselves in different moments.
