Event Scheduling Process
Most Visual and Performing Arts events are scheduled each spring (typically in April or May) before the upcoming school year begins. After the initial scheduling by the VAPA Department, event committees review the proposed dates to confirm all details.
Once the committees approve the final schedule, the complete list of events is published on the VAPA Calendar, ensuring families, students, and community members can plan ahead and join us in celebrating student creativity.
