The program culminates with a wonderful Art Show in the library, attended by our resident artists, their families, friends, faculties and members of the community. Attendees are also treated to musical performances from members of our band and orchestras!
Applications for the 2023 Art in the Afternoon program are available in the Counseling office. Drop off completed return in the box there.
The application must be signed by students and parents, and students must commit to attending all five classes in each session. Space is limited, and students will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Example: See a previous year's application.
The Art in the Afternoon program is generously sponsored by Friends of Palms.
At the end of the semester, student artists in our Art in the Afternoon elective exhibit their artwork at a "juice and cheese" reception in the School Library. All Palms families are invited. There is live chamber music and a lucky numbers auction to raise money for the arts at Palms.
Please join the resident artists from our Art in the Afternoon program to view their work and enjoy classical music performed by band and orchestra students.
