Children’s Theater and Arts Day

2013-14 Productions

The Arvada Center has displayed the artwork of Jefferson County high school students each spring for a remarkable 37 years. The exhibition is one of the Center’s most anticipated and most visited gallery events.

The jury-selected show features 400 selected works from 23 Jefferson County high schools and attracts thousands of students, teachers, parents and art enthusiasts from throughout the region and surrounding communities.

Due to recent school district budget cuts, the exhibition now relies entirely on community support for funding. The exhibition’s budget is nearly $10,000 and includes expenses, among others, for the eagerly awaited awards ceremony and opening reception.

Many of the participating young artists go on to receive art school and college scholarships.

Jefferson County, a valued community partner of the Arvada Center, is the largest school district in Colorado, serving nearly 86,000 students.

Besides exhibiting work of professional artists, the Arvada Center has a long history of supporting aspiring artists

ANNUAL JEFFERSON Foundation High School Art Exhibition

Now in its 42nd year, one of the most attended and anticipated visual arts shows in the region.

Each year, the Front Range Youth Symphony Orchestras (FRYS) bring together 150 talented young musicians for unique study and training in orchestral repertoire.

The only program of its caliber in the region, FRYS supplements school music programs that have been severely impacted by budget cuts, and provides professional sectional coaches, guest artists and master classes, allowing students the opportunity to learn from of the very best musicians in the region.

FRYS students are required to participate in their school music programs where available. Participants audition annually, take part in weekly rehearsals and perform in at least three fully staged concerts in the Arvada Center’s 526-seat Main Stage Theater.

FRYS musicians have gone on to prestigious music programs at Harvard, Berklee, Cornell, University of Texas and more.

Tuition and concert tickets cover only about 60% of operating expenses. The remaining 40% of program revenue is dependent upon the generous support of the community. 20% of FRYS students receive scholarships and tuition waivers.

Your support ensures that aspiring young artists

realize their full potential as musicians and performers and helps offset the cuts in public

school music programs.
