Youth Art Month Gallery Event

The Pickens Arts and Cultural Alliance (PACA) is excited to announce our annual Youth Art Month, a community-wide celebration highlighting the creativity and talent of local students. We look forward to partnering once again with returning educators and warmly welcome new participants to join this inspiring arts event.

Youth Art Month will take place on March 26–27, 2026, with the PACA gallery open to the public from 4:00–7:00 PM on both Thursday and Friday. Board members and volunteers will be on site throughout the event, with refreshments served on Friday evening. The exhibition offers students, families, and community members the opportunity to engage with youth artwork in a welcoming gallery setting.

This event is coordinated and administered by the PACA Board, and our team is available to assist with any questions or participation needs. For more information, please contact our main office at 706-343-8127. Participating teachers are asked to provide sample artwork from students of merit for consideration and display during the exhibition.
