On May 8th, 2025, Friendship Collegiate Academy hosted an art gallery in the school gym to help sell and display the work of Friendship's young artists. Some of the staff at Collegiate set up a food table while guests, students, and teachers got a chance to win prizes in a raffle. There was also a photo booth for guests to enjoy.

J-DuB Doee, a popular DC radio host from WKYS 93.9, made an appearance to network with students and promote the event. Photos taken by Friendship News Network photographers were also on display. After some gallery time and debating, the photojournalism winners were announced. Julian Avent, who is a sophomore, won first place, and sophomore, Satila Ali, a junior, won second place. In addition, two seniors, Diamond Lewis and Maestro Joyner, won cameras. 

Congratulations to the winners of the raffle and the art contest!
