Happy New Year! I hope you all had a very restful and well deserved Holiday Season! We are just a couple months away from the FAME FESTIVAL!  Please get your registrations sent in to our office. We will be planning the schedule and layout and the sooner your register the sooner we can get everyone organized and ready to go. Also requests for our visiting artists are available for festival week from Wednesday through Friday.
The Composition Project has moved to the next phase and the Ballet and Youth Choir will soon begin working on their portion of the project. Big thanks to everyone who participated and submitted artwork for the Fusion of Concert Colors. We have received our final submissions and are carefully selecting the artwork for posters. I have enjoyed viewing all of the students work.

Have a great day!

Dear Teachers,
The seasons really decided to shift with the month, I hope everyone is staying warm out there! We kicked off our Composition Project last month and big thank you to the teachers who sent students for this unique experience. We are looking forward to seeing the final piece at the FAME FESTIVAL. Many of you have already registered and we are excited to get more participation as the year closes out. If you have any questions or concerns about participation please contact the office and we would be happy to assist you.

For any of you who have requested items from the teacher’s closet, please send us some art from your group for our newly created TEACHERS CLOSET GALLERY. This will allow us to see all of the wonderful work you are doing with the students and it will be helpful when procuring funding to sustain this valuable resource into the future.
