It’s not every day that a fledgling artist gets to see her work exhibited at a professional art museum. Especially when that artist is 10 years old. So when Jazmin Lopez, of Mar Vista School in Oxnard, found out she was a winner in an art contest and would be part of an exhibit at the city’s Carnegie Art Museum, she said she danced for joy. “I was like, ‘Yeah!’ ” Jazmin said Thursday as she gazed proudly at her winning art piece: a large, decorative splatter of pink ink hanging inside the museum’s CAM Studio Gallery. “I feel really excited.” Jazmin’s artwork is among dozens of award-winning pieces by local students displayed at the museum this week as part of the 2015 National Fine Arts Exhibition. The exhibit is organized by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme. Students at 15 Boys & Girls Club sites took part.
