use the brand new recording equipment recently added in the
CVPA Theatre. The new facilities are capable of producing
and recording works in many mediums, including vocal works,
instrumentals, and computer DAWs. See Domenic in the theatre to discuss your piece and to set up a recording session.
Timeslots are very limited and will be assigned on a first come
first serve basis, while they last for eligible students.
It was a close race for the name of our new school
newspaper, but in the end - with all the votes counted –
one name emerged as the victor! The new name for the
Central VPA newspaper is… Rumor Has It!
Art Students at Central Visual & Performing Arts High
School are working with the Soulard Oktoberfest on an
enormous, exciting project this year! The students are
decorating over a mile of fabric in the style of artist
Jackson Pollock, famous for his use of the “splatter”
technique of painting. The students are rolling out
200-yard-long sections of the fabric on the sidewalk next
to Central Visual & Performing Arts High School, and
using turkey basters to cover them in lively, spontaneous
designs in the Soulard Oktoberfest colors: red, yellow,
and black. Workers
for the Oktoberfest
will then use this
fabric to decorate the
fencing that will surround the Oktoberfest
location this year. The
Soulard Oktoberfest
will take place two
blocks south of
Soulard Market on
October 11-13th this
year. Look for the
Central students’
artwork at this year at
Soulard Oktoberfest!
