Pickens County Students' Artwork on Display at Museum

The Pickens County Cultural Commission is pleased to announce that, in recognition of “National Youth Arts” month as well as “National Music in our Schools” month, March is again, Pickens County Youth Arts Month.

The Pickens County Museum of Art & History and the Schools of Pickens County will celebrate with a reception to kick off the month at the museum on Saturday March 2 from 1:00 until 4:00 p.m. (A special “Thank You” presentation for our elementary schools will be made at 1:30 and an Awards Ceremony for the Middle & High Schools will be held at 2:30 pm.)

This always entertaining Visual Arts Exhibition featuring work from students in the art programs at all Pickens County schools will be on display beginning March 2 and continuing through March 28.

A selection of other exhibits, concerts and performances will take place at a variety of locations throughout March. As the many schools are sponsoring events too numerous to add here, please do contact your child’s school for programming information.

The Pickens County Museum of Art & History is funded in part by Pickens County, members and friends of the museum and a grant from the South Carolina Arts Commission, which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
