Choir, jazz ensembles, bands, actors and artists took part in the inaugural Arts at the Plaza at the Columbia County Performing Arts Center April 27.
More than 2,000 elementary through high school students gathered for the daylong event, which included performances as well as an art show, which included 2D and 3D art works.
“The fine arts is a wide spectrum of talented young people. It’s challenging to get to all the band concerts, get to all the choral performances, get to all the theater, drama performances, to see all the different art works,” Brooks Smith, the Columbia County School District’s career and college coordinator, said in an April 26 article. “We have quite the patchwork of the art shows and performances throughout the school year. What I thought would be amazing…if we could pull all of these different art forms together.”
