Class of 2021

Good afternoon,

We have been diligently working on finalizing graduation details for this year's graduating class. Graduation will be held on June 4th, 2021 at 7 pm. The current location is the Arkansas Arts Academy campus. We do have several calls out to area venues to try to gain alternative space for social distancing purposes. We will be able to finalize the location by this Friday.

Regardless of location, the following policies will be in place:

  • Students will be limited to 5 total in person guests.
  • All attendees must be masked.
  • Family groups will sit together.
  • Distancing between family groups will be maintained.

The ceremony will be live-streamed for any family members that are unable to attend and recorded so that each graduate has a permanent record of this event.

In addition to graduation, we will be holding the traditional senior week events:

  • Senior Showcase and Dinner will be held on June 3rd from 6-8:30 pm.
  • Senior dinner is a last meal that seniors and faculty share together before graduation. Seniors are given the opportunity to say goodbye to their high school instructors and instructors have the opportunity to provide last words of advice and encouragement.
  • Senior showcase begins at 7:30 pm and is open to the public. Seniors who choose to participate will prepare a final performance or art exhibit to commemorate their time at Arkansas Arts Academy and their growth as an artist.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Congratulations to the Class of 2021 as they near the final finish line!
