Art Show Wrap Up

Art Show Wrap Up

It is with great pleasure that I share with you the total funds raised at our Art Show. 

Thank you to our wonderful St Joseph’s community, we raised $23,000. We are absolutely thrilled!

Funds raised will go towards future art endeavours at St Joseph’s. At the beginning of 2025, we will purchase iPad pens to be used in the art room. Funds raised will also go towards Visual Arts incursions and our building projects. 

Thank you to all of our students, staff, and parents for making the art show such a fabulous evening! Thursday was a beautiful showcase of the arts at St Joseph’s. 

Our Saturday Makers Market was very carefully curated and a beautiful community day. It really does take a village and what a village we have at St Jo’s!
