Celebrating Student Creativity Through Public Art
Clayton Town Hall’s lobby, home to the rotating Clayton Visual Arts gallery, is currently putting the spotlight on student creativity.
As part of a collaboration between the Woman’s Club of Clayton and local schools, the Clayton Art Festival Awards Reception, held Thursday, February 5, celebrated young artists whose work is now on display in this month’s gallery. Featuring student artwork in a public space highlights the importance of public art, creating opportunities for connection, inspiration, and shared community pride.
Winners were selected by representatives from the Johnston County Arts Council. First place winners will advance to the North Carolina Student Arts Festival in March where they will showcase their work on a larger stage.
