The core of the Arts Center’s Mission Statement is "…to make both the visual and performing arts an integral part of the life of our community and region." Of the many ways that this can be achieved, none is more direct, nor more enjoyable to all concerned, than the annual Art from the Schools exhibition.

A natural outgrowth of SVAC’s thirteen- year-old Outreach Program, Art from the Schools showcases work by Northshire area students from the elementary grades through high school. The diverse nature of the artistic talent presented is a testimony to the level of outstanding guidance that the local art teachers provide to nurture creativity in their students.

Schools participating in the 2008 Art from the Schools exhibition included Arlington Area Childcare, Arlington Arts Enrichment Association, Arlington Memorial High School, Burr & Burton Academy, Currier Memorial School, The Dorset School, Fisher Elementary School, Flood Brook Union School, Grace Christian School, Long Trail School, Manchester Elementary & Middle School, Maple Street School, Mettawee Community School, Sunderland Elementary School and the Vermont Academy.

The annual Young Picassos Pizza Party, a very special artist’s reception for all participating students and their families, will be held in the galleries on Wednesday, March 25 from 3:00-6:00 p.m.
