Daryl Price, a 2024 graduate of Charles J. Colgan Sr. High School in Manassas, now has his artwork on display in an international exhibition.
Price submitted his Advanced Placement (AP) art studio portfolio to the College Board in 2024, and was one of 50 students selected out of 80,000 to have their artwork displayed on the international stage.
“I feel so incredibly honored to have my work be chosen to be part of such an awesome exhibition,” Price said.
Price was in the two-dimensional studio art class. According to a Prince William County Schools (PWCS) press release, Price created scenes paying homage to punk music.
“In my years in PWCS, I think all of my art teachers have been really supportive of just creation and my imagination in general,” Price said. “Colgan itself … really helped me find and establish my creative voice.”
Elizabeth Byrnes, an art teacher at Colgan High, said Price’s passion is clear and he’s successful due in part to his approach.
“Daryl’s personal passions, music and art, were evident in his research, experiments and overall outcomes,” Byrnes said. “He allowed himself to play and experiment. If he hit a speed bump or success in the process, he documented it and would pivot all while using these experiences to grow.”
Congratulations, Daryl!
