Each spring the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts sponsors the Annual Area Youth Art Exhibition, a show mounted on the LCVA's Lower Level. The exhibition features work from some 400 students from nine counties, including public, private, and home schools. The works are on exhibition from February-March. This spring's exhibition will open on Sunday, February 17, 2008, with a free public reception from 2 to 4 p.m. on the lower level of the LCVA. This year's Youth Art Month activities will be graciously underwritten by @WORK Personnel and Medical Services.
In October, a related show, Highlights from the Annual Area Youth Art Exhibition opens in the Longwood University Hull Education Center. These selected works are framed and displayed in the building's main corridors, for students, faculty, staff, and visitors to enjoy throughout the academic year.
The 2007 Highlights exhibition opened on Sunday, October 14, 2007, with a free public reception from 2:30 to 4 p.m. at the Hull Education Center.
The LCVA invites teachers from Amelia, Appomattox, Buckingham, Charlotte, Cumberland, Lunenburg, Nottoway, Prince Edward, and Powhatan to participate. Teachers should complete an "Intent to Participate" form by January of each year. In addition, each LCVA conducts a workshop for art teachers to prepare their works for exhibition. This year's workshop is tentatively scheduled for January 18.
