“Fine and Performing Arts at Weber is a pre-professional program for a 21st Century Jewish high school,” said Head of School Rabbi Ed Harwitz. “Artfully Yours will celebrate and feature the depth and breadth of artistic work of students collaborating ­­with top professionals across the artistic spectrum. Over three evenings, the Atlanta community can experience a full range of the talents of Weber students through musical revue, monologues, literature, dance, painting, drawing and ceramics.”

The three-day event will showcase how working directly with professional artists “elevates our students’ true artistic abilities,” said Amber Singleton, director of fine and performing arts and professional artist.

Weber’s artistic team includes Hilda Willis, performing arts director-in-residence, professional actress, director and educational consultant at Kenny Leon’s True Colors Theater; Cheryl Myrbo, visual artist-in-residence and project director of the Atlanta High School Art Exhibit; and dance specialist Jai McClendon Jones, founder of Atlanta’s Resource for Entertainment & Arts (AREA).
