The Academic Centre for the Visual and Performing
Arts (ACA) is celebrating a new year bringing fine
art activities to the Hammond School District.
This year the program has two priorities. The "Arts
for All" program will focus on giving the
traditional students an appreciation for and
exposure to the fine art disciplines of Music,
Theatre Arts, Dance, and Visual Arts. The
accelerated program will include the appreciation
for and exposure to the arts,
however will
bring an immersion of the fine arts to the classroom
for these students. A Spring production, "A Drum, A
Drum will be presented at the Columbia Theatre for
the Performing Arts in downtown Hammond.
We now have nine
Fine Art Specialists that come from many different
disciplines and professions. Each brings diversity
and talent into the program. I am thrilled to be
working with this team of professionals. Excellence
is the word we live by. If you have questions or
comments, please email me.
