2026 “Student Art Anthology” — Nepenthe Gallery and Renée C. Gage Photography

Nepenthe Gallery and Renée C. Gage Photography are proud to present the annual showcase of selected works of art by local high school and college students.

More than 100 works were submitted, and only 15 student artists’ works were chosen, which makes this exhibit the most selective ever!  Five high schools, one home school, and two universities are represented in this exhibit. Nepenthe is inspired by these students’ creativity and energy and grateful they have the courage to share their talent and creations.

Opening night is Thursday, July 23rd at 6pm at Nepenthe Gallery in Hollin Hall.  The exhibit will be up until Wednesday, August 5th.  Nepenthe is open Tuesday through Friday from 11am to 6pm and Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 4pm.

We’ll see you there: 7918 Fort Hunt Road, Alexandria VA 22308 • 571-347-7961 • nepenthegallery.com
