Visual Arts Department Receives Grants For Two Great Events

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Our Visual Arts Department has some exciting news!  Due to a series of grant money, we will be able to bring two exciting visual arts events to the Southeastern WI area. 

Our Midwest photographic arts event SATURATION received a generous grant from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Mary L. Nohl Fund.    

ARTIST IN MOTION, held at the Bayshore Town Center throughout the summer is supported in part by a grant from the WI ARTS BOARD with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts. 

North Shore Academy of the Arts is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that serves all ages in the visual, literary, and performing arts.  We are an affiliate member of the United Performing Arts Fund and have been serving southeast WI for a decade.

Dear Friends,

We are overjoyed to share with you some amazing news today:

We have REACHED our fundraising goal for the Outdoor Classroom in memory of Felix!

The brick pavers sale was a huge success, big thanks to all who purchased bricks!  Thank you to all donors who embraced this special project by donating their time, treasure and talents.  We could not have done it without you!  Special thank you to Dave Cavil who generously rose to the occasion and closed the funding gap.

Weather permitting, we’ll be breaking ground June 21st.  We look forward to seeing you all at the Grand Opening early summer.  I’ll keep you posted on the date and time for the opening ceremony.

THANK YOU!

Introducing Leading Female BECCA!

Friday, February 12th, 2010

“Becca” began with NSAA Stagekids when she was just a small child.  The first show that she was in was the “WIZARD OF OZ”.   After almost a decade and many, many more shows at NSAA, Becca ended her last Stagekids role as “Dorothy” in the WIZARD OF OZ. 

Becca is returning for NSAA’s 10 year anniversary production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” as one of the lead narrators.  This is despite the fact that she is also the lead role at Mequon Homestead High School’s production of “Annie Get Your Gun”.  As if that weren’t enough, she has some other major “out of state” auditions coming up.  “I’m never home,” Becca told us last night.  She works hard and her dreams are big.

Becca is is a shining star of NSAA.  She is a great student, role model, hard-working, ambitious and talented young girl who has an amazing future in front of her.  Keep your eyes on this gal.  She is going places!  And NSAA is glad to have had a part in developing the talents that she exudes today.

Please go see Homestead High School’s “Annie Get Your Gun” Feb. 25-28 then a month later our 10 year Anniversary “Joseph” Production at the Cedarburg Performing Arts Center March 25-28. 

As always, thank you for supporting the arts.  Arts programs build strong leaders such as this fine young lady.
