A new exhibition at the Arsenal Center for the Arts features young artists in a wide variety of mediums.

The show, “30 Under 30” opens this week with 20 new artists and two new categories: digital media and illustration.

Art ranges from stark oil paintings (Mark Morin) to short dance videos (Shaun Clarke), quilts examining the grief of lost intimacy (Esther White), children’s quirky book illustrations (Diana Lisanto) and raku-fired “Fragments” of what look like charred remains of a campfire from Paul Hackett’s Land Lasts Longer than People series, according to the Arsenal Center.

“Designed to display the work of 30 young artists in Greater Boston and encourage a silent dialogue between them, this exhibit shows the interesting directions young local artists are exploring. The project attracts college seniors, recent graduates and those on the cusp of notoriety with national shows,” the announcement said.

The 30 Under 30 exhibit features a variety of media, including Paul Hackett's "Fragments," stoneware clay, raku glaze, raku fired.
