I hope you had a wonderful week!

Believe it or not, we have arrived at the last week of the first Quarter of the 20-21 School Year. Getting to this point has taken a monumental effort from the entire FAC Family - Students, Instructors, Parents, and Staff. Thank you for your continued support as we navigate through uncharted waters. We are so fortunate to have the Arts as an outlet...something that brings us together, forms lasting bonds, and serves as a force for positivity!

Here is the latest from the halls of the FAC...
