Your generous donations help fund in-school performances and workshops.  Within the past few years, touring performers have included:  Richmond Ballet, Virginia Stage Company, Barter Theatre, UNCSA, Once Upon a Blue Ridge Theatre Company, and Solazo. 

    ARTS ALIVE gives Carroll County Intermediate School students the opportunity to observe artists at work, to see the fruits of the artists labor, and the opportunity to talk one-on-one about the artists medium, their career choices and general artistic insights.  The program has evolved to include the entire community.
     Twenty artists in a variety of mediums display and demonstrate their art  for CCIS students and the general public in the gymnasium of CCIS.  The art fair is designed to allow people from the community to come in and see what’s happening at the school as well as with the arts community.  Refreshments and musical entertainment are provided.
     Last year, students and residents had a chance to see blacksmithing, weaving, jewelry making, wood lathing, glass bead lampworking, three dimensional wood carving, doll making, wood carving, pottery turning, and drawing/painting with a variety of media.
