First & Second Gallery Floor Galleries
Charlottesville Area High School Show
May 2- June 1
First Friday Opening Reception
May 2, 5:30-7:30 pm
There’s something special about seeing what young artists are creating — the honesty, the energy, and the stories they’re telling through their work.
This show brings together artwork from Charlottesville high school students to celebrate their creativity, courage, and unique perspectives.
Whether you’re an art lover, a neighbor, a teacher, a parent, or just someone who wants to be moved — come out and support these young artists. You might be surprised by how impactful their work is.
Participating high schools: Albemarle High School (AHS), Charlottesville High School (CHS), Monticello High School (MHS), Renaissance School (REN), St. Anne's-Belfield (STAB), Tandem Friends School (TAN), and Western Albemarle High School (WAHS)
