What is ArtsFest?
ArtsFest is the annual fundraiser for Arts in Western Education (AWE). Since 2013, this community tradition has brought families, students, and local businesses together to celebrate the arts. Every dollar raised goes directly to supporting arts programs in western Albemarle schools.
A Night of Student Talent
ArtsFest is a family-friendly evening where student performances and artwork from all six western feeder schools shine. From art and music to chorus, band, and theater, the incredible creativity and dedication of our students is showcased.
Ask your child’s art, music, chorus, band, or theater teacher if they’ll be participating this year!
Food, Fun & Fundraising
Food sales are a big part of how we fund our annual grants—and a fun way to make dinner easy on event night. Plan to come hungry and support the arts with every bite!
Community Support Makes It Possible
When ArtsFest began, just a handful of families reached out to trusted local businesses for support. More than a decade later, that tradition continues. All sponsorship donations directly benefit student art programs in six western Albemarle schools. Check out our AWEsome sponsors below!
