The Arts Committee

Co-Chairs - Taryn Organ + Mahshad Vakili Hall

Are you an artist? Someone who loves the arts? Someone who wants the best possible art opportunities for your kids? Join the Arts Committee! Our mission is to foster opportunities for our kids to engage in the arts. The committee is comprised of parents and teachers working closely together to support current arts and general ed curriculum, and provide opportunities for growth, bridging visual art, music, dance, and theatre with language arts, mathematics, social studies, technology and science.

There are plenty of other groovy initiatives underway all the time - come to an Arts Committee meeting to learn more about them, and to share your interests, questions and ideas. We need you!

Would you like to be involved with this committee? Please email bnspta2024@bns146.org


Who we are and what we do

The Arts Committee is a group of parent volunteers devoted to supporting arts enrichment beyond the school curriculum, through PTA-led workshops and other programming. 

Please join other passionate families who want to bring more arts enrichment to BNS. The Committee hopes to create events and opportunities for parents and families to participate in enriching and inspiring projects. Working artists who are part of the BNS parent body are encouraged to share their skills and time to enrich the lives of our community, and arts enthusiasts are invited to learn, share, and promote the work we do. NO experience is necessary, and all are welcome!

Some previous examples of the committee’s work: building beautification projects including murals and textile art, a ceramics project with the 5th grade related to their study of Mayan culture, fundraising over 6 years to purchase a kiln for the school, a spring event called Su Casa where faculty and parents performed... and more to come with your participation and ideas!
