On Tuesday, 10/10 me and my friend visited the Museum of Visual Arts at the School of Visual Arts in the Kips Bay neighborhood in NYC.

The museum was very inspiring to me since all the pieces there were created by students of the School of Visual Arts who are my peers.

I saw beautiful exhibitions of photographs as well as painting and sculptures made by the students.

One of the exhibitions shown portrait photos of new yorkers dressed in traditional costumes of many different cultures, showing the cultural diversity of the people that live in our city.

Another exhibits shown paintings created by people incarcerated at Rikers Island which in my opinion is a very good idea because it brings consolation to inmates, helps resocialize them and show their human side to the society.

I’ve seen exhibitions made by many students who came from abroad bringing their cultures to NYC and incorporating them in their art which inspired me to also try to express myself through art since I think that my culture is underappreciated in America and I would like other students to gain exposure to it.

This trip to museum was fun and inspiring and I will definitely come to visit it again.
