Why are The Fine Arts important? They are important because they allow our students to share the gospel in creative ways that demonstrate their God-given talents. The arts are important because they communicate in a way all people understand, cutting across racial, cultural, social, educational, and economic barriers. They enhance cultural appreciation and awareness and can be enjoyed by everyone.
Spring is a busy time at TFA. This season is filled with important academic milestones, athletic events, and school-wide celebrations. It is also a very busy time in the Fine Arts Department, with so many of our students pouring themselves into the many art shows, concerts, and theatre productions. From the visual arts, to the theatre and choral performances, there is something for everyone to enjoy from the Fine Arts at this time of year.
