Fine Arts

The Immersive Experience of Fine Arts in Tempe Education 

Tempe Elementary School District believe that including arts education in elementary and middle schools equips students with essential skills and qualities that extend beyond the classroom and prepares them for a dynamic and interconnected world.

Both performing arts in theater and music, coupled with visual arts that include painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics and photography, create a well-rounded program for all students.

Reasons to Believe in the Tempe Fine Arts Experience 

• Instruments provided at NO CHARGE for all students enrolled in an instrumental music class!
• New in 2024! Shamley now offer visual art instruction as a special for students in K-5.
• All 2nd - 5th graders receive workshop instruction from a teaching artist as part of the Studio Artist Program sponsored by the City of Tempe .
• Partnership with City of Tempe Arts and Schools Grants provides arts programs throughout the district with funds for specialty arts equipment and access to professional artists, clinicians or arts organizations.
