From 10 am until 2 pm, there will be free exhibitions of visual art by preK-12 students as well as solo and group performances of music (vocal and instrumental), dance, and drama. From 5:30 pm until 8:30 pm on Friday, 25 April there will be an adults-only reception (with heavy hors d'oeuvres) and silent auction of art by LRSD staff and students; music will be provided by JazzRUs, led by Dr. Danny Fletcher (Secondary Fine Arts Coordinator for the Little Rock School District). Proceeds from the silent auction benefit the Dr. Morris Holmes Artistry Scholarship Fund.
