You Are an Artist
True artists create in studios. Whether it’s a recording studio, art studio, film studio, or dance studio, art that changes the world gets made where artists are empowered to explore. Mount Vernon Studios works to pair students with instructors who are professional artists that have a passion for cultivating each student’s unique and individual creative potential. We are reimaging arts education to propel student creativity and connect them with an ever-expanding creative industry.

Mod 4 Grade 6 Theatre Arts students performed their short plays today for the rest of the students in their grade today. Students not only performed, but designed and executed lighting, sound, props, costumes, and set. What a way to end the year!
At Mount Vernon, students learn from genuine artists. Here MS Music Director Micah Caldwell walks an especially motivated group of students through his process of mixing his newest material.
One never says, “I can’t” in Ms. Jasmine Gray’s Dance Styles class! Always applying yourself and attention to detail make for beautiful work!
