The Arts Council of White Lake – Nuveen (ACWL-Nuveen) is excited to announce that their exhibition galleries are now being filled with impressive K-12 student artwork. In November they host the annual Fall Into the Arts exhibit which is open to all the elementary, middle and high schools in the district. The exhibit is a showcase for young artists and a fundraiser for their school’s art programs.
At the end of the 2025 school year, ACWL- Nuveen emailed local teachers the theme for this November’s show which was, From My Perspective. The advance notice gave teachers time to integrate the theme into their lesson planning. Because this year’s creative promptcan be interpreted in so many ways ACWL-Nuveen knew it would kickstart some inspiring artwork and they are impressed with the results! Fall Into the Arts opens November 14 and runs until December 20. Join them for a public reception for the teachers, artists and their families on November 15 from 1:00 – 3:00pm. The reception is free for all to attend and of course refreshments will be served!
