Pieces and Gifts of Gold

The 2025 Pieces and Gifts of Gold will be in March at the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts!

Every March, United Arts partners with the Wake County Public School System to present Pieces of Gold featuring over 800 students performing to a packed auditorium of over 2,000 parents, teachers, and community leaders. The evening also includes Gifts of Gold, a visual art exhibition highlighting talented painters, sculptors, and illustrators from over 90 schools.

In 2024, Pieces of Gold celebrated 40 years and Gifts of Gold 30 years! For more amazing photos of the evening, visit WCPSS Facebook Page.
