@ The Ventura Room, Poinsettia Pavilion

The Arts Festival is a wonderful time for our students to share their God-given talents.  This is a non-judged activity, designed to appreciate these talents of the homeschool community.  Due to time constraints, we may need to limit the number of activities per person (i.e. 2 solo events) depending on how many entries we receive!

We’ve had an amazing response in the past with such creative entries as comedic skits, dance, bands, mime, poetry reading, excerpts from plays, films, instrumental solos (piano, guitar, harp, violin…), vocal solos, photography, drawings, sewing, knitting, models and more.  This is also a great opportunity to recognize and encourage the hard work that goes into developing these life enriching skills.

We ask that all performing and fine art be appropriate for families with young children and glorifying to God. When our families come together as a group, we hope to create an atmosphere that allows for consideration and grace.

Values we trust every ACHEV family to embrace are:

• Artist/performer – Personal opinions and freedoms can and should at times be humbly set aside temporarily for the sake of the community. A good rule of thumb is if you have any concern it might offend, chose something safer to perform/create/wear. Remember all ages may be present, and ask yourself, “Will it honor God?”, and, “Will it bless those who hear and see?”

• Audience – There is a time and place to graciously make allowances for the differing opinions about what is appropriate to perform/create/wear. Since this event serves our entire membership, we can expect our diverse community to be just that: diverse. That is part of the beauty of community. We offer benefit of the doubt that each participant sincerely desires to honor God and bless those who hear and see.

We also believe constructive feedback is important. So please feel free to talk with leadership about any aspect of any ACHEV event or activity. Your input is valuable and appreciated.
