The Foster Gallery features work by student artist Lily Ebrahimi, the winner of the Piedmont Arts Guild Special Student Award in “Expressions 2025.”
Ebrahimi is a versatile artist with a diverse background in dance and visual arts. As a senior at Community High School in Roanoke, Virginia, and a former dancer from both the SVB and Star City School of Dance, the arts are a part of her life. Her artistic training also includes time as an alumnus of the prestigious Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan.
Lily has had her works exhibited throughout Virginia, locally at Left of the Center, Piedmont Arts, Pulaski Center for the Arts, Bath County Arts Association Exhibit, and the Clifton Forge Masonic Theater, and nationally has been recognized and showcased by Scholastic for her abilities, winning at the state and national level Gold and Silver medals.
Raised in a family of prolific artists, Ebrahimi has developed a keen eye for color, texture, form, and design. She is eager to build upon her existing skills and expand her knowledge, looking forward to what the future holds for her as a developing artist in the years ahead.

"Expressions" is an open-entry exhibition presented annually by Piedmont Arts and Lynwood Artists. In honor of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, artists were asked to submit work focusing on the theme “America 250.”
The exhibition offers an innovative and meaningful artistic experience for both artists and the community by transforming the milestone of America’s 250th anniversary into a platform for contemporary creative expression. The exhibition invites artists to explore the concept of revolution in both historical and modern contexts, encouraging new interpretations of freedom, identity, progress, and the evolving American experience.
Guests will encounter a wide range of perspectives and artistic voices, revealing how revolutionary ideals continue to inspire creativity and conversation today. By bringing people together through art, the exhibition underscores the ongoing revolution of thought that defines the American spirit.
