It’s that time of year – time for another fun season of Impact’s Exploration of the Arts! This winter we
are again offering a variety of opportunities (some old, some new) for students to discover/develop
their interest, passion, and talents in the Arts. As is our tradition, all performance classes will perform
at the Celebration of the Arts (March 24). The art classes will host an art exhibit after each
Celebration of the Arts performance.

The theme of this year’s Celebration of the Arts is Well, back in my day… (Our emcees will surely be
memorable in their roles this year!)
Celebration of the Arts performances will be Thursday, March 24 at 5:00 and 7:00 pm at Impact.
Mandatory All Cast Rehearsal for all performance-based classes: Sunday, March 20 at 6:00 pm
Mandatory Dress Rehearsal: Tuesday, March 22 at 6:00 pm
Class Fees have been adjusted to help accommodate costuming. Any unique costume pieces will be
purchased or sewn by our Exploration of the Arts costume team. Some costumes may require you to
provide/borrow some basics (for example: jeans, white t-shirt, black leggings etc.)
Tickets will be available in late February for $2 each.
Communication: Follow the Exploration of the Arts Facebook group for info and updates.
Weather Information: We will not hold classes if Lowell has a snow day. Each class has a built-in snow
day. If a class has more than one cancellation, then we will schedule a make-up for that class. Please
check Impact’s website and our Exploration of the Arts Facebook page for any cancellation/make-up
information.
This year we are again kicking off the season with a Winter Arts Flurry event on Sunday, January 31.
Most instructors will hold their first session that afternoon/evening. While you are on campus be sure
to: check your contact information, shop our Scrip booth, enjoy some snacks and conversation, and
stop by our costume booth for initial sizing information.
Class Dates: Due to building use, instructor schedules, age groups etc., our classes have a variety of
start dates, skip dates etc. Please be sure to note the individual class dates on your personal calendar.
The Registration Deadline is January 17, although some classes will fill sooner than that. Please make
a deposit of at least $25 with your family’s registration. Your family balance is due by March 1. Some
classes may be cancelled or combined based on mid-January registration numbers!
