United Arts is proud to partner with the Wake County Public School System for the Pieces of Gold student talent showcase. Pieces of Gold,  a Wake County staple for more than 30 years,  features 1,000 Wake County Public School System students singing, dancing, and performing to a packed Memorial Auditorium each March. This is a show that you don’t want to miss!

Virtual Opening of Gifts of Gold Exhibit
To celebrate the 2020 Gifts of Gold winners, we presented the virtual unveiling of the wonderful artwork created by Wake County Public School students at our April First Friday. We also had an interview with the Best in Show artist, Vanesa Paz Perez from Millbrook High School, and her art teacher, Joshua Davis. (Gifts of Gold is the visual component of the Pieces of Gold showcase held each March and is a collaboration between United Arts, Raleigh Arts, and the Wake County Public School System.)
