Evening of the Arts began 19 years ago as a format for the visual art students to showcase their hard work.  What started as a few  display boards in a small room with simple appetizers from our cafeteria has grown into an evening drawing over 500 guests to enjoy the entire gym filled with artwork on 45 display boards and all four walls filled with works including Digital Art, Drawing, Painting, Calligraphy, Photography, In addition, there are 30 tables filled with 3-dimensional works of all kinds, including Ceramics, Basket Weaving, sculpture and other crafts.  Gourmet food is provided by our Culinary Arts students.  Also participating is our Dance Production Team, Jazz Band, Choir and Drama. It's a community event that is looked forward to every year by many. 
 
This year, Evening of the Arts is on Wednesday, May 22, 6:00 - 9:00 pm.  Admission is free, the performances start at 7:00 pm and the only money required is to eat the delicious foods and desserts.
