Come Play our Youth Art Month Scavenger Hunt Game and win $50 in Art Supplies!

The Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley, in conjunction with Pulaski on Main local businesses and building owners has turned historic downtown Pulaski into a giant art gallery. Come downtown, view the art, and complete our Scavenger Hunt game using QR codes to become eligible to win more than $50 in art supplies.

Youth Art Month is an annual celebration of student artists and their teachers started by the Council for Art Education. It occurs every March, and it is one of the most popular exhibits hosted by the Fine Arts Center. Student artists of all ages K-12 from schools from across the region submit hundreds of works to exhibit in our Edna B. Love Gallery. The event usually culminates with a reception for families that brings dozens of families to Pulaski on a weekend afternoon to view the art, mingle, and enjoy historic downtown.

While 2021 is not going to allow the Center to host an indoor event, the Board of Directors at the Fine Arts Center has a special plan to celebrate our young artists and their teachers this year. We are collaborating with Patrick Ford, director of Pulaski on Main, and the Pulaski Tourism and Art Committee to plan a larger venue for your students’ art. We have  contacted local businesses and building owners in Downtown Pulaski and asked them to display youth art in their front windows through the month of March.

Stop by the Center or the Pulaski Library and pick up a Scavenger Hunt game card to complete while you are viewing the art. Download and use a free QR code reader to learn more about the art at each stop. Then enter the street address for each business in the appropriate place on your game card and turn it in to be eligible for more than $50 in art supplies at the end of the month.
