New Student Work in Foster Gallery

Elementary school students show work in Foster Gallery

An exhibit of artwork by 61 area elementary school students will be on display in Piedmont Arts’ Foster Gallery through November 30, 2017.

The exhibit features work by students attending schools in Henry County, including Rich Acres Elementary, Carver Elementary and Sanville Elementary.

Education Coordinator Becki Williams Vasquez 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.”
