On January 15th, the Stifel Fine Arts Center came alive with creativity as Oglebay Institute opened the 37th Regional Student Art Exhibition. Families, teachers, and community members gathered to celebrate the remarkable talent of high school artists from across the Ohio Valley.
More than 100 works were selected for this year’s show, representing a wide range of media—from painting and photography to sculpture, digital art, and mixed media. The exhibition gives young artists the opportunity to display their work in a professional gallery setting, connect with peers, and gain valuable feedback from arts educators and professionals.
