Our Current Exhibit

The annual Young Masters exhibit featuring the artwork of students in grades K – 12 is returning to the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
 
Art teachers from schools throughout Troy select work completed by local art students for the exhibit. Students consider it an honor to have artwork chosen for this prestigious show. Teachers use a variety of mediums in the classroom to teach art history, aesthetics, criticism, and skill. This display illustrates the students’ artistic responses to the instruction they receive in the classroom. Members of the community are encouraged to come and see the talent and skill of our local art students that will be displayed throughout the historic Hayner Mansion.
