Campbell’s artwork selected for exhibit

Greggory Campbell, a student at Hickory Creek recently participated in “My Home is Tennessee,” an art exhibit featuring works by elementary school students residing in Tennessee’s rural counties. He is the son of Josh and Angie Campbell.

Students from across the state were requested to create a piece of art depicting life in their town, neighborhood, or community. The exhibit was held at the Tennessee Arts Commission Gallery and Legislative Plaza in Nashville. A special reception given by the TAC was held at the former State Library in the State Capitol where legislators presented certificates to Campbell and the other young artists.

“It was an honor to recognize Tennessee’s next generation of great artists by providing them an opportunity to exhibit their work. We are grateful to these young artists for sharing their unique perspective with all of us,” said Rich Boyd, executive director of the Tennessee Arts Commission.

The works were created in various styles using different mediums. Each rural school district was allowed to submit a total of 10 pieces.
