Visual & Performing Arts

From studying Monet to exploring musical compositions, the arts will always have a stage at Prairie.

On any given day, students at Prairie can be found with paint brushes dipped in acrylic paint, shaping clay tossed onto a potting wheel, wielding hammer and nail to create a theater set, or rehearsing lines for an upcoming production. Visual and performing arts add vibrancy to the Prairie experience, placing an emphasis on the value of originality and creative expression.

Offering a robust arts program requires a substantial financial commitment. Your gift to the Visual and/or Performing Arts Departments allows for the highest quality instructors, curriculum and resources, and supplements the budget of each department.

Gifts to Visual and Performing Arts support:

  • New courses like Videography
  • Visiting Artist series, which brings world-class performers and visual artists into the classroom
  • Rights to shows, including popular Broadway musicals
  • Instruments in the Middle School music room

Leadership Gifts

If you are interested in directing a larger gift – such as an endowed or planned gift – to the Visual and Performing Arts Departments that supports Prairie’s strategic plan, please contact Callie Atanasoff, Director of Philanthropy and Engagement.
