A Note From the Director

[IMAGE: Rosilee Walker]

We are excited that you have decided to pursue your artistic talents with our qualified and dedicated faculty. Here at the Academy, we are very proud of our relationship with the music and theatre programs at UA Fort Smith. We are so fortunate to have the wonderful resources available on campus, including faculty and spaces to provide the optimal artistic experience for our students.

It is our hope that we develop programs and opportunities of interest for individuals, from the amateur to the highly gifted, and all those in between. Our faculty work very hard to provide the best experience for the needs of all students.

The Academy seeks to be one of the primary community resources and outreach programs of UA Fort Smith's music and theatre departments. The Academy in connection with the UA Fort Smith Music Department presents the Distinguished Artists Series, a yearly series of performances by artists of national distinction.

As we grow each year, we plan to expand our offerings in places and programs that reach an ever widening audience. Through our partnership with the Young Actors Guild, we continue to offer acting classes for grades 3 - 11, small theatre productions, and large full-scale theatre productions which are presented on the Academy ShowTime Series.

Our summer camps are an exciting way to become involved in our programs. Each year we offer the KinderKidz Camp, a week-long camp for babies - 7 years. The camp includes activities in music, movement, and theatre.

Our Summer Camp Explozion is a week-long camp for students entering grades 3 - 11. The explozion offers activities in music, theatre, dance, and art, and concludes with a musical production at the end of camp week at our Xtreme Artz KidFest.

Whether you are looking for a place to develop an interest of your own, or seeking out a class or instructor for your child, please review this year’s programs and consider the UA Fort Smith Academy of the Arts. This is certain to be a tremendous year of opportunities! [IMAGE: Come Join the Gang!]
