The student artists of Radford High School 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 Savannah Leeman, students have worked on various projects using a variety of media.
Museum Director Scott Gardner said, “We are so excited to once again partner with Radford City Public Schools to showcase the dynamic artwork of Radford’s youngest citizens.” Gallery coordinator Lauri Murphy said, “As a student, to have your artwork on public display is so special, and we at Glencoe are thrilled to be able to showcase their hard work and offer this show to our community.”
