BACKGROUND: The George Washington University Virginia Campus is proud to present “Discover Loudoun’s Young Artists,” a partnership program showcasing works by students from Loudoun County Public Schools. The goal for Loudoun County Public Schools Visual Arts Program is to connect the student/creator to the power of the visual image and create a link between the arts of the past and present. In grades one through 12, basic learning goals have been set that strive to address students’ sequential development through art in relation to their creative expression and appreciation of art. Conveniently located in the Northern Virginia technology corridor near Dulles International Airport, the GW Virginia Campus is the University’s research and technology campus. The 90-acre campus is a robust cluster of executive education and technology programs and world-class research initiatives in transportation safety and security, information technology and telecommunications. Since opening in August 1991, the campus has experienced a tenfold increase in its student base and grown annual research funding from $50,000 to more than $16 million in 2003.
