Richland One presents third annual arts festival

Richland One’s Visual and Performing Arts Department will present the third annual Arts Festival: Art Works, with performances on March 10 at the Carolina Coliseum. 

The 2004 theme, “Art Works,” refers to great works of art, as well as broader interpretations, such as the discipline that artists have, the many careers that are arts related, and the positive economic impact that the arts have on South Carolina.

There will be a morning performance for all district fifth and eighth graders, and a free performance at 7 p.m. for the general public. 

More than 1,000 elementary, middle and high school students perform in this event, including the district’s Honors Bands, Choruses, and Orchestras, Honors Dance ensembles and Theatre troupes. A visual arts exhibit, including artwork from every school in the district, will be displayed on the Coliseum concourse. Richland One Faculty Jazz and Orchestra performances will be included in the event, as well as other special guests, live art happenings, and community art partnerships.

This year’s celebration of the arts in education in Richland One will continue to support the idea that in Richland One, ART WORKS!
