The show features the artworks of students from 7th to 12th grade, representing John Dalton Intermediate School and Radford High School. These talented young artists are showcasing work that was created in the classroom where they diligently learned about a variety of art movements, styles, and mediums. Works from Dalton Intermediate were created 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.
