Welcome to the Young Explorers Gallery!
Celebrating Curiosity, Imagination, and Adventure
Here, children’s creativity takes center stage. Inspired by the stories and wonders of nature, young artists are invited to share their own drawings, paintings, and creations. This gallery is a space to celebrate curiosity, imagination, and the joy of exploring the natural world. Each piece of art tells a story—from foxes and forests to wildflowers and mountain skies—and together they create a community of little adventurers learning to see the world through both art and wonder.
How to Join the Gallery
Throughout the exhibit and website, you’ll find Young Explorer prompts — little green boxes with themes inspired by nature, animals, and Appalachian stories. Choose the prompt that excites you most, then let your imagination run wild!I have been creating art for over 10 years, specializing in oil paintings and charcoal sketches. My work has been featured in several local galleries and exhibitions.
