Anacapa School Will Showcase Student Art and Music at Annual Show

Anacapa Art Show and Concert to feature award-winning student art & live music of ‘The Adobes’

May 16, 2012 — Santa Barbara, Calif.

Student artists and musicians at Anacapa School are gearing up for the annual Anacapa Art Show and Concert on Monday, May 21, 2012 at 5:00 p.m on campus at 814 Santa Barbara Street.

Anacapa students earned more than 100 first place ribbons and four Best of Show awards at the Santa Barbara Fair and Expo. These award-winning student entries, including drawings, paintings, and ceramics, will be on display at the event. In addition, Anacapa’s Lower School music class and members of the Upper School ensemble “The Adobes” will perform under the direction of Anacapa teacher and musician Hugo Macario.

In a time when many schools are cutting back their art and music programs, more than 80% of Anacapa’s student body is currently enrolled in at least one of the independent school’s art, music and performance course offerings.

“The arts are alive and well at Anacapa! I am so proud of my students and their artistic accomplishments this year,” said Anacapa’s founding teacher and head of faculty Suzie Sichi. “This is sure to be a tremendous celebration of their talents.”

A selection of refreshments for the whole family including light hors d’oeuvres will be provided at the event.

Anacapa School is an independent, co-educational, WASC–accredited, college preparatory day school for students in grades 7-12. Founded in 1981 by headmaster Gordon Sichi, Anacapa enjoys the best student-teacher ratio of any school, public or private, in Santa Barbara at its historic campus located in the heart of the Santa Barbara civic center.
