BALIFEST -
Spring, 2011
Contact: Phil • museumschoolphil@gmail.com
Highlighting the Balinese gamelan and dance program, this is an exciting evening that celebrates the entire world music program at the Museum School. All students are encouraged to perform in this professional setting to a public audience. In the spring of 2008, our Balifest was hosted by the Asian Story Theater at the Lyceum Theater in downtown San Diego. We are hoping this venue may be available to us once again, however, if you know of another theater that may be willing to donate space for an evening, please let us know!
Art Auction - Jett Gallery
June, 2011
Contact: Phil • museumschoolphil@gmail.com
A fun event that brings local and national artists together to help benefit the arts programming at the Museum School. Having raised an average of $12,000 at this event each year, the Museum School reaches out to local and national artists for donation of work to be auctioned off to local patrons and art lovers. We look forward to the support of Jett Gallery in the organizing of this exciting event.
