Distinction. The purpose of the arts education programs in Buncombe County Schools is to help each student  find his or her artistic voice. As arts educators, we work to help our students collaborate and manifest creative, problem-solving, globally-minded strengths in their areas of expression.

In our schools, students have the freedom to seek originality and distinction. They lead the charge in presenting award-winning visual art pieces, stunning dance and musical performances, and high-quality theatre productions such as Hello, Dolly, West Side Story, and The Little Mermaid Jr. The fine arts allow students to build confidence, explore new cultures and ideas, and strive for excellence. From kindergarten through graduation, the arts have a place for students to belong.
