Held on Saturday, March 11, 2023, the high school hosted many artistic festivities throughout the day-long event. Within the foyer between the high school's auditorium and gymnasium, hundreds of pieces of student-made art were on display. The exhibits spanned mediums and materials, from paints to colored pencils, handmade crafts, and more, drawing intrigued eyes all day. Each of the district's schools had its own dedicated gallery in the concourse area, giving attendees a chance to see the talents of Prince George County's rising artists at a glance.
