2026 Festival of the Arts Info

We’re excited to share an update on our upcoming Festival of the Arts happening this spring! Plans are coming together quickly, and we officially have a strong foundation in place for what promises to be a truly special evening for our students and families.

Date: Thursday, April 30
Location: Green Bay Botanical Garden
Doors open: 5:30 PM
Art show begins: 6:00 PM (Lower Level)
Live performances: 6:30–8:00 PM (Cornerstone Foundation Hall)

This year’s Festival of the Arts will focus primarily on our FAI (Fine Arts Institute) students, who will take center stage throughout the evening.

  • Music, dance, and spoken word students will perform live in the Cornerstone Foundation Hall
  • Our Literary Arts strand will offer the annual edition of The Strand Magazine for purchase
  • The visual art showcase will be featured on the lower level as a formal art exhibition

We’re especially proud to share that a visual art student has been selected to collaborate with the Garden’s marketing team on official promotional materials for the event. Three students submitted artwork, and the Garden selected the piece that best aligned with this year’s theme—an incredible opportunity and recognition for our student artist.  Promotional artwork to debut soon.  Stay tuned!

The Garden will offer an open bar (beer & wine) for attendees.  EHS Culinary students will provide the food for the evening.

This will be a ticketed event, though it is important to note: The Botanical Garden is currently working on special pricing for EHS families, but final ticket costs are not yet available as they are still determining food and beverage expenses.  This is NOT a fundraising event.  We’ll share pricing details as soon as they are confirmed.

We still have a few details to iron out, but the collaboration, opportunities for students, and overall vision are already shaping this into an unforgettable evening. Thank you for your continued support of East High Performing Arts—we can’t wait to celebrate our students with you in April!
