She taught visual arts education in Virginia and North Carolina schools for eight years, and was named the teacher of the year for her school last year.

“It is a great privilege to serve as the new Assistant Director for the Foothills Arts Center. I can’t help but to love beautiful old buildings, and the facility richly complements the timeless instructional courses already offered on site. The center presents an opportunity to simultaneously preserve the local history and cultivate a regional arts destination, and the atmosphere on campus is one of innovation, creativity, and optimism. I am especially eager to advance the development of a vibrant after school and summer art program for the youth in our community, our future artists.” -Sydney

“I’m so excited for our students to see other children their age from around the world in their element. Many of our students have not been exposed to these different cultures before. Through discussion, reflection, and exploration, they can learn that although we have differences we are still very much the same. My hope is that this exhibit will foster curiosity about the children and countries in the photographs and that they will inspire us to learn more about them. Through this gift, the Besharat Arts Foundation will beautify our school and enrich the lives of our students and community members.” -Jill Bellia, Elkin Elementary Art Teacher and FAC Board Member |
