The Many Faces of Greensboro

People are sitting in the Barnes & Noble Cafe reading, grading papers, and having great conversations during a day of sloshy, lingering snow. We are featuring this post today to celebrate the self portraits of the many young students prominently displayed above. The faces, on thin sheets of foil, reflect the diversity of students in the Guilford County Schools. Our art teachers work very hard to get their students' work displayed in the community. Often, these exhibitions are hung in conjunction with school book nights at the bookstore. Could one of these faces be a future leader? Yesterday, we featured an art piece of four of Greensboro's finest students from 1960. Today, we feature 60 youthful faces of 2010.

Great art, the aroma of new books, and the taste of fresh coffee. Simply heaven!

Looks like a pleasant place to hang out! I'm gonna' take a Starbucks photo like that now, too!

Greensboro wouldn't have been my first guess as to heaven's location -:) But a B&N coffee shop would be high on my list. Imagine who these portraits will represent 50 years from now. Amazing possibilities. Our future!

Nice post!

Excellent! I'd love to see that. I enjoyed yesterday's cup too.

Sounds good to me too.
A self portrait, that is something we never had to do in school. Might be interesting. Your row of young faces looks very hopeful.

Barnes & Noble does a good job with this type of thing.

This is such a great idea. Instead of phony posters some real art! I bet those little artists and their parents are really proud. Good for the book store to devote that space to the kids of the community! Great reporting!
