Expose Black Artistry – Youth Art Contest
In celebration of Black History Month, the Viola Heritage House Museum proudly partnered with the Expose Excellent Youth Program as a guest judge for their Expose Black Artistry event. This inspiring program showcased the incredible talents of youth through a powerful art contest honoring Black culture and creativity. Nicole Stewart represented the museum as a judge, supporting young artists and helping uplift the next generation of cultural leaders. We had an amazing time — and we’re excited to share that select pieces of student artwork will be featured in an upcoming museum exhibit at the Viola Heritage House Museum!
