Student Artwork Initiative

The once sterile white walls of the County Administration Building are now a lot cheerier, thanks to the Arts Initiative launched earlier this year by the Henry County Board of Commissioners in partnership with the Board of Education and the local Art Coalition.  The program is designed to highlight the extraordinary artwork being created by our young people by displaying select pieces in the County Administration Building. 

Approximately 30 pieces are now on display, gallery-style, in the atrium of the Administration Building.  The pieces were selected by the Arts teachers, and the array of artwork not only showcases the amazing talent of Henry County’s public elementary, middle and high school students, but also demonstrates the wide variety of media and artistic styles being taught in the school system.  The pieces will be rotated out in January 2011, when a new grouping goes on display.

Funds were donated by local businesses to pay for the framing materials.  The cost of the framing materials was approximately $1,200.  Henry County would like to express its appreciation to these sponsors for supporting this arts initiative through their generous donations: the Henry County Water & Sewerage Authority, the McDonough Arts Council, Snapping Shoals EMC, Smith, Welch & Brittain, LLP, Georgia Power, Lambert Sand & Gravel, O.B.’s BBQ, Catfish, Ribs, and Denstistry for Children, P.C..
