November News

As the Fall Season brings us the bounty of harvest and a glorious display of color, we have so much to reflect on and be thankful for.

Last month we were busy with four different workshops, one to celebrate each of our fine art departments. We also shared our lessons with our friends during Bring a Friend Week, learned new dance moves at our Annual Thriller Dance Party, and highlighted our Student Scholarship Program during a beautiful variety show with our Faculty Recital and Art Auction. Thank you to our talented teachers for sharing your gifts with us and for those who donated toward our scholarship fund!

Congratulations to our October Student of the Month winners: Atharv Gawde, Liz Hedley and Max Hoffman!

This month we will start by celebrating the accomplishments of our art students by hosting a Fall Art Exhibition which will be on display throughout the entire month of November, with a special reception to honor them on Sunday, November 3rd. All are welcome! We are also looking forward to our Fall Music Recital Series to be held Friday, November 8th through Sunday, November10th.  See below for details...

There will be a short reception to follow each recital. If you would like to bring a snack to share, please let our front desk know. Recital time is a wonderful opportunity for students to share their gift of music with friends and family. It is also an important goal for students to work towards in order to sharpen and refine their musical talents. All are encouraged to participate: .

Our Fall Art Exhibition: "Colors of Fall" will be on display in our student art gallery from November 1st - 30th with the Opening Reception to be held on Sunday, November 3rd at 3:00pm. All are welcome to celebrate our talented and hard working art students as they show off what they have been learning and creating in their individual art lessons. Come see the spectacular things our students are creating in art and also meet the artists!

Each exhibition, the school's Director chooses a piece of artwork to purchase and hang in our permanent collection of art at the school. We are so proud of all of you and honored to display your artwork for all to enjoy.

Congratulations to this year's Art Purchase Award winner, Krystiana Justiniano! "Natural Still Life" is an acrylic painting on canvas that took her a year to complete. Click here to view this stunning painting...
