Kreeger Gallery Hosting Special Display

Last year, Gracie Ashworth ’16 was awarded a Derek Park Fund Grant for Creative Innovation Award. She used that money to take a nature photography workshop and put together and exhibition that shows the beauty of the world.

That exhibition is currently on display in Kreeger Gallery. Ashworth has photos from South Africa, Italy, France, New York and Maryland in her exhibit.

Derek Park was a student at St. Andrew’s from sixth grade through the end of the first trimester of his ninth-grade year. At the time of his death in November of 2011, the Derek Park Fund was created to provide grants to students and faculty seeking creative innovation and personal development. Derek was a member of the Jazz Band (clarinet) and loved being out in nature playing, fishing, riding a bike or hiking. He was an imaginative and creative person who experimented freely with the physics in our world.

Photos of Ashworth’s exhibit are available for purchase at cost, with all proceeds going directly the Derek Park Fund for Creative Innovation.

This year’s winners of the Derek Park Fund Grant for Creative Innovation will be announced on March 1.
