Fine Arts Association
Mission/Purpose:
The St. Juliana Fine Arts Association is dedicated to promoting
and maintaining the fine arts, which include drawing,
painting,
computer-generated, and other forms of crafted arts, as well
the performing arts including dance, theater, oral/visual
communication and interpretation, and music (both secular
and sacred, instrumental and vocal). The mission of the
association
is to provide opportunities for students within a Catholic
context to be exposed to and participate in the arts in
a
holistic setting, thereby encouraging, developing and nurturing
their individual talents and self-esteem in the fine arts.
You can follow news of their activities on their web

develop life-long skills and Christian values. These values
include leadership, self-discipline, spirituality, integrity,
teamwork, patience, and a respect for artistic expression.

follows:
