The Foster Gallery is named in memory of Elnora B. Foster.

The Foster Gallery showcases work by students from Martinsville and Henry County schools. Exhibits are curated every six to eight weeks, allowing work by students from all 19 area schools to be displayed during the year.

For more than 25 years, the Foster Gallery has been curated by the Charity League of Martinsville and Henry County. Piedmont Arts and Charity League believe that fostering an early exposure to the arts is critical for a well-rounded educational experience.
