Art lovers and the Winston-Salem community have reason to celebrate: the Diggs Gallery at Winston-Salem State University has reopened its doors, restoring one of the city’s most cherished cultural destinations to its rightful place on campus.

The gallery’s return has been met with enthusiasm from students, faculty, and the broader arts community. Greensboro.com and the Winston-Salem Journal both highlighted the reopening this week, with the Journal offering a photo gallery showcasing the art exhibition now on display inside the newly restored space.

The Diggs Gallery has long served as a cornerstone of cultural life at WSSU, providing a platform for artists and a gathering place for community members who value visual arts and creative expression. Its reopening signals a renewed commitment to the arts at the university and gives Winston-Salem residents a vibrant venue to explore and enjoy once again.

The exhibition currently on view gives visitors an immediate reason to stop by and experience what the gallery has to offer. Whether you are a longtime fan of the Diggs Gallery or discovering it for the first time, the reopening is a welcome milestone for the campus and the wider Winston-Salem arts scene.

Also adding to the city’s cultural energy this week, the Winston-Salem Theatre Alliance celebrated a major milestone of its own — honoring Jamie Lawson’s 25 years of service and dedication to the local theatre community. Lawson’s quarter-century of contributions represents the kind of sustained, passionate commitment that keeps the performing arts thriving in Winston-Salem.

Together, these two celebrations of the arts underscore just how rich and active Winston-Salem’s creative community truly is. From the visual arts at WSSU’s Diggs Gallery to the performing arts legacy of the Theatre Alliance, there is plenty to applaud in the Camel City this week.
