ARTrageous, Spring Hill's Fine Arts Foundation

 

ARTrageous supports local Fine Arts Scholarship Opportunities!

ARTrageous is committed to making the Arts an integral part of our young people's lives through education. By securing funds through our greater Longview community, the Arts will be promoted as a foundation for life-long learning.

If you would like to help ARTrageous sponsor any of these programs or future Arts-in-education events, please contact Claudine Giffin at giffincm@mac.com or Tempe Kirby at tempek@cablelynx.com.

It is with your help that ARTrageous can continue to offer our children ways to find connections with the world and each other as well as expand their horizons through the many facets of the Arts.

The ARTrageous 2009/2010 Season has come to a close. What a great year it has been! We would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to our Billboard Sponsors for another enlightening year of Arts-in Education programming. Here is an encore presentation of all the fabulous events your generous contributions have brought to our District: The Hunt Family Fiddlers Main Street Theatre presented “Stuart Little” Electronic Keyboard for the Primary 4th grade visit to the Longview Symphony Fun Fitness Fridays with the Institute of Healthy Living at the Middle School 6th Grade “Art in History” Project:  Eastern European Faberge Eggs 6th Holocaust Remembrance Day High School presentation by Celebrity Chef and Broadway Actor Brad Anderson $1,000.00 Donation to the High School Musical “Side Show” production.

 

Artrageous is currently accepting suggestions from faculty members on what programs they would like us to try and bring to Spring Hill in the upcoming year. Booking for most programs and events must be done months in advance due to scheduling, financing and board approval procedures. If you are interested, please print the Artrageous Event Request Form, and return it to your campus representative for consideration.
