FAME will accept a limited

Arts education is a continuum that proceeds through our
school year blending into the Summer months.
Summer is an important productive period where artists, musicians, dancers, and actors gather at festivals to share each other's
work for the greater sake of our communities. FAME
has been created to provide a place where the arts can grow deep roots in young children's early experiences.
Students 1st grade through 4th learn to relate to each other on common artistic
ground where they can develop a greater insight into the truly wonderful artistic life that surrounds us if we take the time
to see and hear it.
