WOU Creative Arts Day

Finally a day for your art students.  WOU is pleased to announce our first annual Creative Arts Day on November 21, 2014.  We have spent over a year designing a day for high school art students that would be a day of being artists, actors and musicians.  In keeping with our mission of serving Oregon and its students, there will be no charge to students, counselors or teachers to attend this event, parking is also free.

I am thrilled at the quality and breadth of the hands-on workshops that will be offered to your junior and senior students.  Seniors will also have the opportunity to bring a completed application for admissions and receive an answer the same day.

Please inform your students and teachers of this event that covers all four academic departments (dance, fine arts, music and theatre) within the WOU Creative Arts Division.
