47th Annual Unionville Art Gala

Unionville High School Art Gala celebrates its 47th year! The annual art show and sale, to be held November 17 and 18 at Unionville High School, showcases local working artists, Unionville High School (UHS) Alumni, and current UHS student artists. In addition to beautiful artwork, there is live music to entertain and delicious desserts to enjoy. Funds raised will benefit the UHS PTO, contributing to Educational Enrichment Projects to enhance the overall educational experience for all UHS students, and will also help make local community outreach efforts possible.

The Unionville High School Art Gala strives to include a variety of artists - both new and more established individuals. Approximately 60 participating artists express their talents though diverse mediums including oil and watercolor paintings, photography, glass, metal, pastels, mixed media, jewelry, ceramics, mosaics, and wood.

We are proud to announce that our featured artist this year is Shawn Faust. Known as one of the premier equine artists in America, Shawn paints stunningly realistic images of horses, cows, foxes and other animals that call Chester County home. Shawn affectionately gives the animals that he paints names to fit their personalities. "Snug" the fox warms our hearts as he is curled up, showing a posture of contentment. "Ginger" the cow is a beautiful white bovine with ginger-colored fur on her ears. "My subject matter is simply a conduit for my empathy," Shawn says. Simply put, there's an immediate connection that takes place when you stop and admire his work.
