The 10th Annual Virginia Duff Fine Arts Festival is scheduled for Thursday, February 27, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Tennessee Middle School. This districtwide K-12 event celebrates student achievements in arts and showcases a professional student art show alongside vocal and instrumental ensembles. Attendees can explore the state-of-the-art middle school while enjoying the simultaneous art displays and musical performances. Local food trucks will be available for dinner options. The community is invited to attend this free event.
The inaugural festival was held in March 2016 at the Paramount Center for the Arts in Bristol, Tennessee. Over the years, the event has grown, showcasing the district's commitment to arts education and providing students with a platform to display their talents to the community. The festival honors the late Virginia Duff, a longtime educator in the district, recognizing her contributions to arts education.
