Evening of Art Gallery Walk - Thursday, April 25

It's Spring again, and that also means that Heritage will be hosting the THIRD annual "open-house" Evening of Art Gallery Walk: "We Are God's Masterpiece, Created for Good Works" on Thursday, April 25, 2024, from 6:30-8:00pm. Heritage students are getting ready to celebrate their accomplishments and "Beauty Creating" with YOU!! Our inspirational artist this year is VINCENT VAN GOGH. We invite you and your families to come to the school gym, and take a walk through the gallery of art while enjoying some culinary sweets!

VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED: There are a lot of artworks to be hung/displayed (approx. 400-500 masterpieces). This will take many hands to make the work light for all and be a blessing to those who attend. A sign-up genius has been sent out for various times to help with this over the next few weeks. WE NEED YOUR HELP. Even if you can only give an hour or two here and there. IT WOULD BE SO APPRECIATED! *If you have other times that are NOT on the sign-up genius that you could come in and help, please let Tresa Munson know. Thank you. Evening of Art Sign-up

CULINARY ART: We would also like to have cookies & artful treats for everyone to enjoy while taking in all the beautiful art displays. Many of these culinary sweets will need to be donated for this event, and dropped off in the morning/afternoon on Thursday, April 25th. We would LOVE to see some of our Heritage Middle School students share their Culinary Art skills at this event too!!

ALUMNI ARTISTS: In addition, we’d love to highlight the artwork of some of our alumni who may have gone on to immerse themselves in their creative expression, or who have just maintained art as a hobby after leaving Heritage. If you have, or know of, an alumni student that has artwork they would be willing to display please contact Tresa Munson (munsont@hcs-nl.com) for details and to arrange to do so. Alumni students will be responsible for setting up their own artwork.

If you have grandparents in town for Grandparents Day (Friday, April 26th), please invite them too! We look forward to a fun evening and hope you’ll join us. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the office or Mrs. Munson.

Grandparents Day - Friday, April 26

An invitation was sent to all grandparents either by email or regular mail this week with information about Grandparents Day coming up on Friday, April 26.
