Paragon Displays Artwork from St. Agnes Academy Students for 10th-Straight Year

04-22-15

Paragon Bank hosted its 10th annual reception for the opening of the St. Agnes Academy senior art exhibit on April 16. The reception took place at the Fountain Place Banking Center and showcased work by eight students in Janis McCarty’s AP art class. Paragon will continue to feature the artwork through the remainder of April.

“Year after year, we are privileged to celebrate the outstanding work produced by the senior class at St. Agnes Academy,” said Robert Shaw, Chief Executive Officer at Paragon Bank. “Ms. McCarty is a wonderful teacher and mentor, and we are honored to have these students’ work in the bank for both customers and our employees to enjoy.”

At the reception, students took friends and family around the Fountain Place Banking Center to see their artwork and indulge in refreshments provided by Paragon. This year’s art exhibit featured work from AP students Lena Baioni, Emma Efkeman, Mary Fortney, Mara Healy, Christina Henry, Julia Valdes, Johanna Wayland-Smith and Frances Wenger.

For the past 10 years, Paragon Bank has displayed artwork from local schools in an effort to support the talented student artists in the Memphis community. Each month, artwork from a different school is hosted at its Saddle Creek Banking Center. This year’s reception for St. Agnes was part of Paragon’s yearlong #PB10for10 campaign, which was established to commemorate a decade of community impact.
