SPOTLIGHT We're Celebrating the Arts this Week! The New School has always been about allowing children to creatively express themselves through drama, music, art, and dance. Every April we celebrate with art shows, recitals and performances during Arts Week! This year we kicked off the festivities at George's Majestic Lounge with music from our very own Rock Band and Morning Jam. This week we are showcasing our visual artists, musicians, dancers and actors all across our beautiful campus. While we celebrate the arts everyday at The New School, it's always extra special when April comes along!
See the rest of this week's events on Facebook and invite your family, friends and neighbors to Arts Week!
FROM DR. GROESBECK Dear New School Community, Art surrounds us and it is a joy at The New School! From the Visual Arts to Dance and Music... Come to the campus this week and enjoy the way Art is infused into every part of our curriculum!
