Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, the all-girls independent day school for PS-12, is pleased to announce the upcoming winter gallery exhibition,“Labors of Love,” featuring a diverse group of celebrated local artists, including Nancy Pirone Tamasi, Dr. Ronah Harris, April Zay, Piroska Toth, and Libby Ramage. Representing a broad spectrum of disciplines—from traditional ceramics and textiles to innovative fiber art and painting—the artists continue to push the boundaries of their chosen mediums.
The group features a rich blend of educators, technologists, and fine artists who have presented workshops at Stuart’s annual Middle School World Arts Day led by artist and educator Phyllis Wright. It is a day when professional artists, musicians, actors, and dancers share their experience while teaching others.
The public is invited to view “Labors of Love” on display in Stuart’s Considine Gallery from January 24, 2026, through March 3, 2026. An opening reception will be held on January 24, from 2:30 to 4:00 PM. The gallery is open from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday, when school is in session.
