There are two primary benefits of the Ignite Master Artist Series - it allows students to learn from the best in their respective fields, providing them with a level of instruction and guidance that would be impossible to replicate in a traditional publicschool setting. It also exposes students to diverse perspectives and techniques, broadening their horizons and helping them develop their own unique artistic voices. By offering unique opportunities for creative expression and exploration, artists who are part of the Ignite Master Artist Series foster a love of learning and a sense of self-discovery serves students well beyond their time at our school.
