Each March, United Arts partners with the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) to present Pieces of Gold, an unforgettable evening showcasing nearly 1,000 student performers in front of an audience of over 2,000 parents, teachers, and community leaders. This dynamic event highlights the incredible talent and dedication of students across Wake County through music, dance, and theater.

Complementing the performances, Gifts of Gold is a juried visual art exhibition featuring exceptional paintings, sculptures, and illustrations created by students from over 90 WCPSS schools. This inspiring collection will be on display at The Chapel at Dix Park, offering the community a chance to celebrate the creativity of young artists. A reception honoring the WCPSS student artists brings together students, educators, and community members to recognize the importance of arts education.

This year, Pieces of Gold marked its 43nd anniversary, while Gifts of Gold will celebrate 33 years of artistic excellence!
