Winter exhibit, "Labors of Love," features works by local artists and long-time Stuart partners

Stuart is pleased to announce the 2026 winter exhibit “Labors of Love,” featuring a diverse group of celebrated local artists, including Nancy Pirone Tamasi, Dr. Ronah Harris, April Zay, Piroska Toth, and Libby Ramage. Representing a broad spectrum of disciplines—from traditional ceramics and textiles to innovative fiber art and painting—the artists continue to push the boundaries of their chosen mediums.

The group features a rich blend of educators, technologists, and fine artists who have presented workshops at Stuart’s annual Middle School World Arts Day led by artist and educator Phyllis Wright.  It is a day when professional artists, musicians, actors, and dancers share their experience while teaching others.

The gallery is open from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday, when school is in session.
