“Art Class Confidential” Showcases Artwork by High School Seniors

A special exhibit of artwork by local high school seniors is on display in Piedmont Arts’ Foster Gallery.

Each fall, the exhibit Art Class Confidential showcases the work of students taking advanced art classes at area high schools. This year’s exhibit features work by 36 students from Martinsville, Bassett and Magna Vista high schools and Carlisle School.
