Marist Arts Guild (MAG): Continuing the tradition of fine arts education at Marist

The fine arts program at Marist School provides meaningful exploration of its students’ God-given talents and creative self-expression while inspiring both their sense of commitment and their passion to succeed.

Membership in the Marist Arts Guild (MAG) is open to parents, alumni, faculty, and friends of the fine arts programs offered by the Marist School. MAG members generously give of their time, talents, and treasure to further empower the faculty to provide a quality and engaging fine arts program that both complements the stated educational mission of the school and allows Marist students to meaningfully express their individual creativity through a variety of visual and performing arts venues.

Monies generated through MAG membership fees and annual fundraising activities directly support the Marist School’s fine arts educational programs, marching band, choral, and drama performances.

MAG contributes funds to enhance the arts experience of Marist students. MAG monies are used to underwrite summer arts programs, purchase uniforms and band instruments, and provide items such as new shelving for the art room. MAG is striving to increase its direct financial support to the fine arts while improving the organization’s ability to provide funding to meet long-term educational and capital goals. Recently, MAG contributed $30,000 as a collaborative partner with public companies and private foundations to construct Marist School’s new Digital Arts Studio. This fusion of creativity and twenty-first century technology will allow for new elective courses in graphic arts and bring new depth to student projects such as the Blue and Gold student paper, the Rapier, and the The Guidon, Marist School’s yearbook.

Associated with MAG in a collaborative effort, the school’s faculty members have faithfully helped Marist School to grow in its commitment to provide a vital fine arts program that challenges and rewards its students. Several recent studies have shown that although researchers may debate the causal factors, none argues the positive corroboration between a student’s participation in the arts and improved performance in both the classroom and on standardized tests.

Participation in the arts teaches students the value of collaboration, the necessity of risk and the thrill of achievement… your support for MAG today ensures that the Marist School’s proud tradition of excellence in fine arts education continues to thrive.
