The Alliance for Young Artists and Writers recently recognized Lehman High student Marisa Tambur as a national gold medalist in photography. Tambur represents less than one percent of nearly 350,000 works of art and writing that were submitted for the 2018 school year. By receiving a Scholastic Art and Writing Awards National Medal, these students join a legacy of celebrated authors and artists including Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Robert Redford, and Marc Brown. The National Ceremony was held at Carnegie Hall with special speakers and guests R.L. Stine and Marc Brown. Marisa’s work will be exhibited in New York City before it makes it back to Kyle.
