ASFA Holding Open House October 20

BIRMINGHAM, AL - The Alabama School of Fine Arts will hold its annual Open House on Saturday, October 20, 2018 on the school’s campus. There are recurring sessions at 9, 10 or 11 am. No reservations are necessary.

Attendees should meet in the school’s lobby before their chosen session. During the event, prospective

students and their parents can tour the school, meet the faculty, and learn about the admissions
process.

ASFA is a public, tuition-free school for Alabama students in grades 7 -12 with admission by audition.
Students who excel or are passionate about one of the school’s 6 specialty areas: creative writing,
dance, math-science, music, theatre arts or visual arts are encouraged to attend the Open House. The
school serves students from across Alabama by offering dormitory space to students outside the
Birmingham metro area.

More than fifty years ago, Governor Lurleen Wallace helped ASFA get its start by allocating funding for an
after-school arts enrichment program. The school has since turned into one of the premiere arts and
sciences schools in the country.

The school is a cultural, scientific and creative intersection. Students publish books, star in commercials,
and do ground-breaking scientific research. Faculty are industry recognized master teachers, symphony
members, and artists with pieces in major museums. Alumni are working as doctors, lawyers, musicians,
researchers, artists, authors, entrepreneurs and non-profit founders.
