Word & Image: Just Like Me

Work by Pinellas County students is displayed in this exhibit. The theme of the show, "Just Like Me", challenges students to create a self-portrait and explain in writing what makes them unique. The theme of this exhibition is based on the book Just Like Me: Stories and Self-Portraits by 14 Artists, edited by Harriet Rohmer.
