Alliance City Schools has announced its Fine Arts Showcase will return in 2024, with a nearly two-week series of displays and shows.

Nearly all grade levels will be featured during the events, from first-graders and elementary school students through the district’s competition choir, The Jetsetters.

First up will be a district-wide visual art show that will kick off with a reception at 6 p.m. April 29.

“Last year's inaugural Fine Arts Showcase was an amazing event, and I can't wait to see what this year brings,” said Shawn Jackson, director of secondary education. “We have so many talented students, both in the visual and performing arts, so it's great we set aside a week to show off their talents.”

The ten-day showcase offers families and community members the chance to see students’ artistic talent. Events are free and open to the public, unless noted.

“These young artists and musicians are excited to show off all their hard work from this school year,” said Bianca Burwell, head of the art department at ACS. “This showcase is the perfect opportunity for our families and community to see our students in action, shining in their artistic element.”
