The Colonial Arts Center Gallery is celebrating Youth Art Month this March with the 2025 Upshur County Youth Arts Exhibition.

The exhibition will run from Saturday, March 8 — Saturday, April 6, 2025, with an artist reception on Friday, March 14 from 5 – 7 p.m. This multimedia exhibition will include artwork from Upshur County students of all ages ranging from the Buckhannon Academy Elementary School through the Buckhannon-Upshur County High School.

CAC Gallery director Robert Howsare said, “The arts are an integral part of the Buckhannon community and celebrating the talents of our local youth and their teachers is a fantastic way to continue fostering that creative energy.”

The public is encouraged to vote for their favorite artworks in the exhibition. Winners of the People’s Choice Awards will be announced on social media during the last week of March.

The gallery is open on Fridays and Saturdays from 4 – 8 p.m. or by appointment. The CAC Gallery is located at 48 East Main Street in downtown Buckhannon, WV.

All gallery events are free and open to the public.
