Please enjoy this video clip provided by WCAX-TV, featuring Lebanon High School art students and AVA’s Curatorial Assistant, Peili Heitzman.

The18th annual exhibition of regional high school artwork features more than 100 works by emerging artists from 14 regional schools across the Upper Valley. The exhibition runs through March 28, 2026. Each year, AVA invites art faculty from Vermont and New Hampshire high schools to nominate students who demonstrate exceptional promise in their creative work.

The exhibition brings together and puts the spotlight on young artists working across multiple disciplines including ceramics, drawing, mixed media, painting, photography, sculpture, and wearable art. These young artists are pushing boundaries, experimenting with materials, and making art that challenges and inspires us. We’re excited to celebrate their achievements and show our community what the next generation is capable of.

Participating schools include Cardigan Mountain School, Hanover High School, Hartford High School, Kimball Union Academy, Lebanon High School, Mascoma Valley Regional High School, New England School of the Arts, Proctor Academy, Rivendell Academy, The Sharon Academy, Stevens High School, Thetford Academy, Windsor High School, and Woodstock Union High School.
