What is ArtBeat?
For 23 years we have celebrated the God-given gifts of our students in the visual and performing arts. Most years this is a day-long all-school celebration of the Arts at CHCA, but in 2020 we pivoted quickly to present a virtual ArtBeat. This year we are refreshing Virtual ArtBeat to be more robust. Spanning ten days, ArtBeat will include a full array of performing and visual arts as well as the Juried Art competition.
Congrats Selected Auditioned Performers!
