ACHEV Fine Arts Festival 2022 – Tuesday, May 10 @ Community Bible Church Ventura

The ACHEV Fine Arts Festival is back!  This year it will be held at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, May 10 at Community Bible Church, 5040 Telegraph Road, Ventura.  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 the 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.

Parents are welcome to perform and/or display fine art as well!  We would really like to see 2 or 3 parents show off one of their talents as an encouragement for the students.

Please fill out your submission forms no later than Friday, April 29.  We will not be accepting submissions after the deadline.  You must submit a separate form for each piece of artwork and each performance.

To make this event happen, we need all parents to volunteer.  We are asking every family to bring a plate of cookies/finger-snacks to share AND to volunteer for one of the jobs listed in the Google Form linked below.  We will contact you before the festival to let you know what your job will be.  Thank you for all of your help!
