Arts Festival
The Blondeau Arts Festival began 13 years ago as a year-end celebration of some of the best
visual and performing arts at our High School. It’s grown annually and last year expanded to include the
work of our 7th and 8th grade art and music students.
This year’s event will be in conjunction with the All-School Orchestra Concert and the Spring
Pops Choir Concert on Monday, May 17. The Arts Festival will begin at 4:30 p.m. with an “art crawl,”
followed by the orchestra concert at 6 p.m. in the high school gym and the choir concert at 8 p.m.
Visitors are welcome to enjoy the artwork before, during and after the concerts.
Displays will include traditional drawing and painting, three-dimensional art, digital design and
student films set up throughout the foyers, hallways and the Media Center of the high school. Winners
in the state History Day competition also display their projects, and several social dance groups will
perform. Community artists will judge the works and winners announced that night.
Admission is free, and refreshments made by the Cultural Foods classes will be served. Guests
may come and go at their convenience, or they are welcome to stay for the entire evening.
