Makers & Inventors: 1 Night at SLArts - Art Market & Humanities World's Fair
Every invention and every handmade piece of art starts the same way, with someone who had an idea and made it real. On Thursday, Nov 5, 6:30-8 PM, we’re celebrating that spirit with two events in one evening, and we hope you’ll come to both.
Meet the Makers: SLArts Art Market Our students, parents/guardians, and staff will be selling their handmade work, including jewelry, paintings, photography, sculpture, fabric art, clothing design, fun creatures, and more. It’s a chance to shop small and local and see what our community can create.
Meet the Inventors: Humanities World’s Fair Students in Ms. Bayles’ and Ms. Hoodes’ Humanities classes share the inventions of the 20th century, from the phonograph to nail polish to neon lighting. Wander through their posters of newspaper articles, timelines, advertisements, and cartoons.
Start with the makers of today, then travel back to the inventors of yesterday, or the other way around! Bring your family and come see what creativity looks like at SLArts.

Submissions Due for Recognition Assembly
Submissions Due Nov. 6: Recognition Assembly
Our Recognition Assembly is Nov. 11, and we’d love to celebrate your student’s persistence, grit, creativity, or courage in something they do outside of school. This could include: performing in a play or dance recital; competing in a sport or on a robotics team; learning a new skill like coding, painting, or skateboarding; or volunteering, leading, or taking on a meaningful personal challenge. Please send your student’s news (and a photo, if you’d like!) to Markell McCubbin, Academic Engagement Director, at markell@slarts.org by Friday, Nov. 6 at 5 pm. Due to limited space, the assembly is for students only, so be sure to ask your child for all the highlights afterward!
