The show will feature over 60 High School student’s displays and pyramid artwork from Bonnie Brae, Fairview, Laurel Ridge, Terra Centre, and Oakview Elementary students. Come early for dinner and dessert with local food trucks. They will be serving food and treats from 5:30 to 8pm. Doors open from the general public for 6 to 8 pm. The exhibit will be open during the day to Robinson students and FCPS employees from 8:00-11:30 am & 1:20-3:00 pm.
Volunteers for Art Show
Each year, the Robinson Art Department reaches out to the Robinson families for help recruiting volunteers for the annual Robinson Art Show. This is PERFECT for parents who want to have an opportunity to be directly involved with a community event held at school.
We are in need of volunteers to help with the set up of high school art work on Wednesday, April 9, from 3:00 to 5:00 and take down after the show on Thursday, April 10 from 8-10. Any help you could provide would be wonderful and very appreciated!
