Twin cities arts community

An important part of SPCPA’s purpose is to connect the students and the school to the Twin Cities professional arts community in a number of ways.

  1. SPCPA supports students who need to miss school to perform locally with professional and youth arts organizations.
  2. Each artistic discipline offers multiple master classes taught by guest artists. Local professionals are regularly invited to perform for and dialogue with students.
  3. Arts teachers are local professional artists and they connect the students to the organizations they represent.
  4. J-Term projects happen in local professional venues.
  5. SPCPA maintains an Arts Advisory Council composed of arts leaders in the community.

Good luck seniors! Do as much as you can with your talents. Getting out there is hard sometimes, but you have an upper hand with your focus. Don't be afraid to make something on your own, and make connections!

Field Trip! Visual Art students in Individual Projects visited the Walker Art Center last week, where Walker Educators led students through two exhibitions: "Motion Capture" and Tetsuya Yamada's "Listening." Here students can be seen experiencing "Listening."

It’s going to be such a good show! I can’t wait.

Yay Charlie!

Playwright Alan Berks of Wonderlust Productions was on campus yesterday, conducting a story circle with 11th and 12th grade Theatre students. They are gathering material for an audio play that is part of a larger project happening all over downtown St. Paul this summer (via posted QR codes). There just might be some SPCPA material/references in the finished piece – stay tuned!
