JCS Visual & Performing Arts

Join us this Friday night as our students showcase their skateboard work with Mark Rivard and DoRadThings. Our arts students from all schools were able to learn a great deal from our artist in residence for the week. Mark's story and work with our students has not only been inspiring, but also a great opportunity to bring out the creativity in all of us. We hope to see you Friday evening, 5:39-7:30 pm at City Limits in Nicholasville! More info and pics from the week are here so be sure to check it all out! You can also visit his website doradthings.co and his social media, DoRadThings on insta and FB.
