MCPS hosts Fine Arts Night Each spring, MCPS hosts Fine Arts Night, an opportunity to showcase artists from each branch of the fine arts. This years display included artwork from artists in grades PreK-12 across the division. Choir, Band, and Theater Arts are featured on the MCPS Youth Arts and Music Month website. About the art featured in the showcase, Carrie Lyons, Lead Art Teacher said, "I love the contrast of displaying artwork created by elementary students next to artwork created by middle school students."
