What is ArtBeat?

For 24 years we have celebrated the God-given gifts of our students in the visual and performing arts. After a ten-day Virtual ArtBeat last year, we are thrilled that ArtBeat returns in 2022 to its traditional day-long, all-school celebration of the Arts. ArtBeat is a fun-filled family event featuring student performances, student artwork, artist demonstrations, hands-on-art stations, and great food!
