Join Us!   Ashland High Arts Advocates (AHAA) are proud to present the 29^th annual (and 1^st virtual) Winter Fine Arts Festival!

This event showcases fine and performing arts at Ashland High School, and this year also includes offerings by Ashland Middle School performing arts. This show is the only place you can view performances by ALL of the performing arts groups at Ashland High, plus view the incredible artwork of students in the fine arts programs like drawing/painting, woodworking, fiber arts, and culinary arts.

While we would love to be hosting our usual in-person event at the Mountain Avenue Theatre, a virtual show does have some great advantages…

• You can watch the entire show from the comfort of your own home! No need to drive out on a cold, winter night.
• You have the opportunity to view our fine arts offerings, something you might miss if you attended only the variety show in the theatre.
• You get to hear directly from the teachers in the programs, about their challenges and triumphs!
• If you see something you particularly like, you’ll be able to re-watch the show once the recorded show’s link is available.
• Family and friends who live outside of the area can attend the show – just like you! (That’s your hint to encourage them to watch!)
• The show is free…and you have the opportunity to support with a donation online before, during, or after the show.

This event is the only fundraiser of the year for AHAA. The donations collected from this event will provide an additional budget for each art program to allow the teachers to purchase needed items that their regular school budget does not cover, plus funds will go into the student scholarship program to be awarded to students for summer arts lessons, camps, and other needs.  

So, enjoy the show, and please be generous with your donation! Just click on the blue DONATE HERE button to give.  It’s not easy to teach arts classes online, but our teachers and students have gone above and beyond to overcome these challenges. Thanks so much for your support!
