VIRTUAL FINE ARTS
FESTIVAL
With large gatherings still limited in the spring of 2021, the Visual and Performing Arts Departments received some support from alumnus Philip Tickle ’09 to help ensure the show would go on. As part of his internship hours for his master’s in educational leadership, Tickle worked with Brian Rollins, head of performing arts, Amy Baynum Chaplin ’88, head of visual arts, to develop an online platform that would “ensure that the IB art students received the same recognition that they deserve for the incredible effort put into their art and music.” Tickle used Google Slides to create a fully interactive art and music gallery, allowing users to explore different rooms, each one filled with the recordings or artworks of student musicians and artists. “It was incredible to see the quality of work that IB students still produce at Trinity. As a former IB music student and diploma recipient, I fondly recall my own music performances and compositions,” said Tickle, who is now a music teacher at neighboring St. Michael’s Episcopal School. “Seeing the culmination of that journey for another generation of students is really meaningful and was very gratifying. It was also wonderful to see the works of some of my former St. Michael’s students!” To view the gallery, please visit
