Festival of the Arts

The RNS FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS began in the fall of 2017 to promote the Arts among youth in New Brunswick. We are excited to host the eighth annual Festival of the Arts this fall. Participants will take part in workshops and demonstrate their skills in a showcase and gallery presentation. This year’s festival will take place on Friday, October 2nd, with workshops throughout the day and into the evening. Professional instructors will offer more than 30 different Drama, Art, Music, and Dance workshops. The festival will culminate with a performance showcase and art gallery. Students are encouraged to bring their artwork for display at the gallery and instruments to perform.
 
The workshops this year will include textiles, painting, abstract art, mural design, life drawing, rock band, music composition, instrumental music, vocal health, scene study, directing, costume design, improv, mindfulness, art portfolio review, musical theatre, hip hop, jazz and much, much more!
