Spring Arts Night

Please plan on joining us on Thursday, May 6 from 6:00-8:00 pm for Desert Academy’s Spring Arts Night. This wonderful free event will showcase the vast talent of all of our art students. Over 75 students are represented in this exhibition that includes paintings, drawings, posters, prints, collages, photographs, film, mixed media, and installations. The evening will also present our High School choir. The choir will be “donning” their GLEE faces for a group of pop tunes on Thursday evening. The choir will open the concert with “Accidentally in Love” from the movie SHREK 2. They will also sing Elton John’s “Your Song” and the beautiful ballad, “I Hope You Dance.” Every one of the 20 singers in the choir has a solo in the concert as well. Come and hear your favorite singers “break out in song.” Finally, we will present films and animation, including our two films that won 1st and 3rd place at the National Geographic All-Roads Film Festival. The art show will run from 6:30 to 7:00pm and the music and films will run from 7:00 to around 7:45. Please come enjoy this very fun evening and support the arts at Desert!
