The Art of What's Possible
Fine and Performing Arts Education at ODA
In a world that demands both imagination and adaptability, the Fine and Performing Arts program at The Out-of-Door Academy is a springboard for self-discovery, collaboration, and creativity. Whether a student’s goal is to become an art scholar, a practicing artist, a professional performer, or to use art as a creative outlet, our fine and performing arts curriculum provides a solid foundation in critical thinking and creative skills for life. Performances and exhibits at every level instill a sense of pride and ownership for students and give the community an opportunity to enjoy and celebrate the work of our students.
