Elementary school students show work 
in museum’s Foster Gallery

An exhibit of artwork by 49 area elementary school students will be on display in Piedmont Arts’ Foster Gallery through March 31, 2017.

The exhibit features work by students attending schools in Henry County, including John Redd Smith Elementary, Collinsville Primary, Rich Acres Elementary and G.W. Carver Elementary.

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.”
