Good evening Visual Arts students, parents and supporters! Read on for a few announcements and updates ....

Congratulations to Visual Arts junior Holly Finch. Holly advanced to the national competition in the PTA Reflections program.

Tuesday, January 14 the PTSA meets at 6 p.m. in the Commons. The first 10 minutes will be PTSA business, but then we'll break into Parent University sessions. 9th-11th grade students and parents/guardians will hear about course selection, AP and cross-conservatory classes, dual-credit opportunities, all-school productions and summer scholarships. Senior students and parents will hear about graduation requirements, college resources, and upcoming senior activities from our ASP College Advisor Dakari Butler and Senior Activities Committee Chair Amy Buehler.

The Visual Arts Guild will not meet in January.

Thursday, January 16 is our 5x7 Art Sale. Thank you to everyone who has signed up to help. We could use a few more volunteers in the early shift, anywhere from 4:30-6 p.m. Students are encouraged to help during the sale from 7-9 p.m. to help pull and package art after it's purchased.

There is no school Monday, January 20.

The next Lunch Talk with Principal Williams is Thursday, January 23 at 12 p.m. in the library. Please RSVP by Monday, January 20 so the PTSA can plan refreshments.

The opening reception for Senior Show #1 COALESCE is Thursday, January 23 from 5-7 p.m. in the Hudson Gallery. Volunteers and donations of refreshments are appreciated.

Saturday, January 25 is the first day of auditions. We host a hospitality table for auditioning Visual Arts students and provide faculty, judges and student volunteers with lunch. Check out the sign up for details. Students and parents are welcome to volunteer together. 

5x7 REMINDERS

The Art Sale is at 2506 Sylvan Avenue but you will enter the Fabrication Yard on Fabrication Street or Muncie Avenue. Park anywhere on the street and use the walkway between Fabrication and Muncie to get to the studio entrance. The walkway will be closed to car traffic. We'll have lights and signs to lead the way. See the map below for details. 

Doors open at 7 p.m. From 7-7:50 p.m. we will have a new "buy it now" option where you can purchase any artwork before the sale opens at 8 p.m. for $200. When the sale begins at 8 p.m. all artwork will be $100. Get there early to look through the more than 160 pieces of art so you can find your favorites and be ready to buy when the sale begins. 

You can purchase art and drink tickets with Apple Pay, Venmo, Zelle and credit cards. We will not accept cash or checks at this event. 

The first 100 buyers will take their art home in limited edition Art Sale bags donated by Visual Arts Guild members Jim and Kelly Martin.

Don't miss the 2025 5x7 Art Sale!
