Supportive, therapeutic, empowering, and progress. These words set the inspiration for LAUREL’s 2025-2026 academic year. The LAUREL Regional School, located in Lynchburg, Virginia provides a public education to students with higher support disabilities.

On view is a celebration of creativity, inclusion, and expression. It is an affirmation of the empowering and connective nature of education and the arts. These inquisitive artists, andtheir art, gives life to the LCVA’s mission that the arts inspire hope and beauty through the power of human imagination.

This exhibition is a partnership with Amazement Square.
