Art in the Afternoon
Art in the Afternoon is a free after-school class for Palms Middle School students interested in a directed, hands-on art experience.
Classes are from 3:06pm to 4:06pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. There are no classes on Tuesdays, holidays, or shortened days. There are no late buses for this program.
Classes are taught by art teachers Ms. Goldin (Room 162) and Ms. Purdy (Room 165).
The program culminates with a wonderful Art Show in the library, attended by our resident artists, their families, friends, faculties and members of the community. Attendees are also treated to musical performances from members of our band and orchestras!
The Art in the Afternoon program is generously sponsored by Friends of Palms.
End-of-Year Art Show
Thursday, May 29, 2025, 3:15-4:15pm
At the end of the semester, student artists in the Art in the Afternoon program exhibit their artwork at a "juice and cheese" reception in the School Library. All Palms families are invited. There is live chamber music and a lucky numbers auction to raise money for the arts at Palms.
Please join the resident artists from our Art in the Afternoon program to view their work and enjoy classical music performed by band and orchestra students.
Parents: Please contact Friends of Palms if you can help coordinate the Art Show and Reception.
