Brunswick County High School Art Show 2025
is OPEN!

The High School Art Show is open at Franklin Square Gallery from March 19 - April 11, 2025.
The show features the artwork of students from South, West and North Brunswick
High Schools, and is always one of the Gallery’s most popular events.
The show affords local high school students the opportunity to see their paintings, drawings, graphic designs, sculpture and other 3D artwork professionally displayed in a working art gallery. It also gives the community a chance to see the wonderful and varied visual art talent that our public school system nurtures.

Thank you to Stacey Belter, art teacher at South Brunswick High School(left), Patricia Lyles, FSG Chair for the high school art show, and Shane Miller, art teacher at North Brunswick High School for their help in hanging the student show.

Franklin Square Gallery, the Associated Artists of Southport, has begun its year long effort for Empty Bowls on October 14, 2025!

Our Artists are busy creating one of a kind bowls to support the Empty Bowls mission to "eliminate hunger in our communities

ONE BOWL at a time".

What is Empty Bowls…

The "Empty Bowls Project" is an international grassroots effort to

raise both money and awareness in the fight to end hunger.

An empty bowl is a reminder of individuals who go hungry everyday. This simple gesture and act of kindness allows you to make a difference. A meal of donated soup and bread is served. Participants take home a hand crafted ceramic bowl as a reminder of those facing food insecurity in Brunswick County.

Your purchase of a sponsorship or ticket helps

fill a neighbors’ Empty Bowl.

All proceeds support Mathew’s Ministry, Brunswick Assistance and Southport, Oak Island Food Pantry. Silent auction and raffle on day of event.
