"High school students at Michael J. Petrides School collaborated with Rab's Country Lanes to create a gallery of original artworks on display in the bowling alley in Dongan Hills. "Anything I have drawn, it never had a right place to go, this drawing found one," said Austin Ngan, and 11th-grade student. Through paint, mixed media, and illustration, students reimagined bowling balls as planets, pins as constellations, lanes as galaxies, and the act of rolling as a journey through space and time."
""My main inspiration was the many diverse shows I watched when I was younger," said Jasmin Machado, an 11th-grade student. "My goal was to relate to the audience through cartoons they may have seen as well." This partnership highlighted how art can bridge school, community, and industry - allowing students to see their creativity displayed in a real-world setting. Austin Ngan, also an 11th-grade student, stated that anything he has ever drawn never had a "right place to go," until now."
High school students at Michael J. Petrides School partnered with Rab's Country Lanes to install original artworks throughout the bowling alley in Dongan Hills. Students used paint, mixed media, and illustration to reinterpret bowling elements as cosmic imagery—bowling balls as planets, pins as constellations, lanes as galaxies—and explored themes of gravity, freedom, impact, motion, and the balance between being grounded and dreaming beyond. Students in grades 10 and 11 cited inspirations from diverse shows and cartoons, rapid idea flow, and a desire to evoke comfort and happiness through bold colors. The partnership connected school, community, and industry by showcasing student creativity in a real-world venue.
