AAA Parent Guild

Arkansas Arts Academy is forming an Arts Parent Guild. The Primary Goal of the parent guild is to provide fundraising and volunteer support to the visual and performing arts staff and students of Arkansas Arts Academy, K-12. Some activities include organizing parent volunteers for productions, managing the boutique, designing and organizing cast shirts, seeking sponsorships, and organizing cast parties. In addition, parent guild funds support the performing arts field trips, stipends for teachers working outside of contracted hours, fund guest teaching artists, boutique expenses, and other incidentals to help productions and arts events.

The meetings will be on the last Tuesday of every month at 6 pm in the HS commons.

We are looking for parents who fulfill all roles. Parent involvement roles include President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Boutique Chair, Communications Chair, Hospitality Chair, and Sponsorship Chair. We also need representatives of all departments, including choir, culinary, dance, fashion, music, theatre, and visual arts.

If you want more information, please contact the staff liaison - Amy Kessler-Weber, at akessler@artsk12.org.
