Smith had a busy summer, painting a&nbsp; huge mural on the wall of his high school\u2019s gym.&nbsp; In addition to that feat, he was awarded a scholarship to Carnegie Melon University for a one month-long-pre-college program on architecture.&nbsp; This talented young man will have his work at ARTWORKS around town for January and February.&nbsp; He also will have two pieces at the&nbsp; Stifel Center of Oglebay Institute in January.&nbsp; Von has been awarded a full-ride scholarship to Rice University in Houston, Texas, where he plans to study architecture.&nbsp; He is especially interested in the design aspect of that major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moundsville Middle School is very fortunate to have Tabetha Morgan as its art teacher.&nbsp; Her students will have pieces in the Student Gallery at ARTWORKS in January.&nbsp; Morgan will also be featuring a few of her paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These two special exhibits will usher in the new year at the Gallery with very unique shows.&nbsp; ARTWORKS is a non profit gallery and art center dedicated to serving the people of the Ohio Valley.&nbsp; Open six days a week, Monday through Saturday&nbsp; from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m., ARTWORKS is always looking for new members.&nbsp; Pick up an application at the desk or go online for more information, <a href=\"http:\/\/artworksaroundtown.com\/\">artworksaroundtown.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January brings in the New Year at ARTWORKS around town with two fantastic exhibits.&nbsp;
