We Need Your Art!

Art can tell a story, remind us of a memory from long ago, and connect us. Conversely, stories can inspire art. Tell us a story or let a cherished story speak to you and inspire your creation.

Paintings, photography, pottery, jewelry and more will on sale, too. We bring together your choice of art and mix them with our musicians, student artists, parents, and community members. The result is a fun and memorable evening supporting and celebrating the arts in our schools. Are you an artist who wants to participate? Download the forms and instructions: (Call to Artists Letter, Rules of Submission, Form A and Form B) or SUBMIT YOUR ART by completing this online form.

Due Date for form submission is March 31st!

In Memory of Robin

IMADA remembers Robin Silverman, community visionary and artist in her own right, whose idea for Art for the Arts enabled us to create a unique collaboration with community artists to support arts education. Donations in Robin’s memory enabled us to establish the Robin Silverman College Scholarship Fund and purchase state-of-the-art projection equipment for the three art rooms at the middle/high school complex.
