Art teams up with technology in a springtime showcase that offers a virtual reality “walk” through a gallery of student work, plus an invitation for students to hang actual art in the windows of their Rutherford homes. Together, those initiatives will form “Weekend of the Arts,” a clever re-imagination of the typical art shows that close out the school year. “The online gallery will rely on technology similar to the Street View feature of the Google Maps app, so computer users can get the sense of walking through an art gallery,” said Veronica Grillo.
