Local School Art Programs Celebrate Youth Art Month with Special Exhibit
March 2025
Healing Through Color is a special student art exhibit celebrating Youth Art Month and the creativity of young artists from five local schools. This collaborative exhibit explores the power of color as a tool for expression, healing, and connection. Through a variety of mediums, students share their personal interpretations of color, emotion and self expression.
Students from Foxcroft School, guided by Julie Fisher, took on a leadership role in mentoring elementary school artists and bringing Healing Through Color to life. As they worked alongside younger students, they gained hands-on experience in framing artwork, curating an exhibit, and creating labels. This collaborative effort not only showcased their artistic talents but also deepened their understanding of the exhibition process.
Healing Through Color highlights the importance of arts education while fostering a sense of unity among our community’s young creatives. Visitors are invited to experience the beauty and emotion of student artistry in this heartfelt exhibition.
The exhibit will be in the AiM gallery through March 18th. While the artwork is not for sale, donations to support the schools are welcome.
Participating schools:
Banneker Elementary, Claude Thompson, Foxcroft, Middleburg Community Charter and Middleburg Montessori Schools
