More than 200 works of student art are on display at the Toe River Arts Gallery in Spruce Pine for the annual Mitchell County Arts in Education Showcase. Kindergarten through 12th grade students from public and private schools in Mitchell County participate annually in this event that celebrates the creative achievements of our students. This showcase is not just a celebration of students, but also a testament to the hard work each art educator dedicates to the job of nurturing creativity and artistic growth.
