New Student Work on Display at Piedmont Arts

High school students show work in museum’s Foster Gallery 

An exhibit of artwork by 62 area high school students will be on display in Piedmont Arts’ Foster Gallery through January 31.

The exhibit features work by students from schools in Martinsville and Henry County, including Bassett High School, Carlisle School, Magna Vista High School and Martinsville High School.


Director of Exhibitions Heidi Pinkston says exhibits in the Foster Gallery are an important part of the museum’s community programming. “The Foster Gallery is for the display of work by young artists,” she continued. “By showing student work at Piedmont Arts, we encourage young people to participate in the arts and give students’ friends and families the opportunity to experience the wealth of young talent we have in our area.”
