The renovation of the A3 studio art room in the upper division of Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy has been completed, the school announced today. New tables, storage cabinetry and special lighting were among the upgrades to the room, which is home to classes ranging from art foundations and painting to design and digital photography.
Head of School Fr. Leon Olszamowski, s.m., and art faculty members Sandra LewAllen and Ned Devine said a big thank you is due to the major contributors to the project: the Schwabauer and Carballo families as well as the McManus Foundation, all of whom helped to finance the $130,000+ renovation.
Notre Dame's visual art program also features advanced placement art classes and an International Baccalaureate art course. NDP art students routinely earn awards in public and privately sponsored art competitions.
