RADFORD – Glencoe Mansion is hosting a new art show, “For the Love of Art,” featuring the artworks of students from Radford City Public Schools.
The show will be on display March 18 through April 30. There will be an opening reception Saturday, March 18, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The show features the works of students from third through twelfth grade, representing three Radford City Public schools.
“These talented young artists are showcasing works that were created in the classroom where they diligently learned about a variety of art movements, styles, and mediums,” Glencoe announced.
Works from Belle Heth Elementary were created under the direction of Michelle Saunders and Ashley Dunbar; Dalton Intermediate School, under the direction of Kristy Bryant; and Radford High School, under the instruction of Savannah Leeman.
The student artists of RHS have gained various honors for their artwork including exhibition at the Radford University Tyler Gallery as well as awards in the Regional Scholastic Art competition. Under Mrs. Leeman, students have worked on various projects using a variety of media where she focuses on helping students develop their artistic skills while learning important 21st century skills that will help them find success in the world outside of school.
