Nashville, N.C. - Nash County Public Schools (NCPS) will host its annual Celebration of the Arts on Tuesday, March 26, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Rocky Mount High School. The event, held each spring, showcases students' talents and spotlights the district's commitment to the arts, coinciding with Art Education Month. The exhibition will begin with a performance by the Elite Dancers from Nash Central High School, followed by a musical presentation by the Rocky Mount High School orchestra, which will take place during the exhibition. Superintendent Dr. Steven Ellis will participate in the event by taking photographs with each of the featured artists. Following the school event, the art gallery will be transferred to Braswell Memorial Library in Rocky Mount for public display throughout April. After that, it will go home to the Superintendent's art gallery at the central office in Nashville, where it will remain on view for one year.
