The E. C. Glass Art Collection has become a prestigious and comprehensive body of work, and includes original pieces of art dating back to 1895. Selected works by current students, former students who have excelled in the arts, the E. C. Glass art faculty for over 100 years, and prominent artists in the Lynchburg community are hung in the auditorium lobby and throughout the hallways of the school, cafeteria, library, and classrooms.
The Friends of the E. C. Glass Art Collection was founded in 2011 to involve students, faculty, and the entire community in learning about, celebrating, preserving, and growing the collection. The ultimate goal has always been for Glass students to enjoy the benefit and inspiration of fabulous art in their daily lives.
