Department Spotlight – Art Department
March is "National Youth Art Month" and our Arapahoe artists are celebrating by displaying their imagination and creativity at the Curtis Arts & Humanities Center, 2349 East Orchard Road. Their works of art will be on display all month with an Opening Reception on Thursday, March 1, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. Come enjoy!

The 3rd Annual Arapahoe "Art Attack" will be April 17th – 21st in the Theater Hallway. This is a show exclusively for the students of Arapahoe High School sponsored by our Arapahoe PTO. This is our "show of shows" for the year which provides recognition for our students as well as prizes for outstanding work. Students may enter two pieces of artwork in the following categories: Acrylic painting, Watercolor painting, Jewelry, Sculpture & Ceramics, Black & white photography, Colored photography, Digital photography, Printmaking, Black& white drawing, Colored drawing, Design, and Multi Media. The entry deadline is Friday, April 6th. "Best of Show" will be awarded in each category plus Superintendent's Choice and Principal's Choice. This is a celebration of both the wonderful work of our students and an opportunity to share with the public our department and art curriculum. We invite you to join us at our Reception and Award Ceremony on Tuesday, April 17th at 7:00 p.m!

Every year selected pieces of artwork are displayed at the Southglenn Public Library for a year. A panel from the library selects these chosen pieces of artwork during our "Art Attack" display. Students are notified and invited by the library to a special reception in their honor. This is a wonderful partnership we have established with the library and such a wonderful way to showcase our talented Arapahoe artists!

The "best of the best" are selected to represent their school at the 2007 Continental League High School Fine Arts Show at the Curtis Arts & Humanities Center. The show will be April 19th – 28th with a special reception on Thursday, April 19th from 5:30 -7:00 p.m. The show is sponsored by the Continental League High School Activities Division of CHSAA. Congratulations to our super elite artists of Arapahoe!

The Art Department is delighted to again have a partnership with DJ and Nancy Hallowell of the "Frame It Up" gift and frame shop located across the street from Arapahoe. Each month an outstanding Senior artist was featured with their framed work (compliments of the "Frame It Up") on display for that month. On Thursday evening, May 17th, the "Frame It Up" will host a year-end celebration for nine outstanding artists, family and friends from Arapahoe. Come celebrate with us and join us in thanking DJ and Nancy and their staff for supporting the visual arts in our community!
