During the month of March, the Fine Arts Center is pleased to turn our focus to the talented art teachers we have in our region and the art their students have created throughout the year. March is Youth Art Month and once again we are pleased to share the work of the student artists from our region in a unique way. We have turned downtown Pulaski into a walk-and-view gallery. Student artwork is displayed in several businesses in downtown Pulaski. Most of the student art is available to view from the sidewalk, but a few of our participating businesses, like Max on Main and the Pulaski County Library, also include art inside.

In addition to the fantastic art from our local students you can view at our local business partners, be sure to find time to stop in to the Edna B. Love Gallery at the Center to view this year’s winners of the Scholastic Art Awards from the Southwest Virginia region. The gallery is full of dozens of drawings, paintings, sculpture, and other artwork created by students throughout Southwest Virginia. The top winners from the Southwest Virginia Region have moved on to the national competition. National winners will be announced March 17.

All of our teachers and students have undergone overwhelming challenges over the past two years. Despite those challenges, the art teachers in our region have gone above and beyond to keep the arts alive in our schools. We believe the arts are an important component of a fully rounded, vibrant education for every student. Come view the student art in downtown Pulaski, and you will be reassured that our region’s art teachers are overcoming those challenges to keep the arts forefront in our children’s education. Thank you, teachers!
