Patrons of the Arts

POTA stands for “Patrons of The Arts” but it could just as easily represent “Parents of The Arts.” Walker parents created POTA in 2008 to support all fine arts at The Walker School. We support each fine arts department from Preschool to Upper School with volunteers and by providing for some items for the classrooms benefiting each all students whether or not they participate in a fine arts extracurricular activity.

The arts are vital to the comprehensive development of our children. The arts help students address new challenges, build confidence, and grow creatively. POTA is proud to help Walker embrace the value of each student’s artistic expression – whether through the visual arts such as photography, drawing, painting, and sculpting, or through the performing arts including band, orchestra, chorus, theatre, or dance.

  • MS Play: Rotten Apples

    "A group of villains, including the Evil Queen, Wicked Stepmother, and Big Bad Wolf, and some familiar faces with dubious morals, like Little Red Riding Hood and Pinocchio, are locked in a mansion on a dark and stormy night. Their only means of escape is helping Prince Charming figure out the name of a mischievous imp who has his eyes set on a gasp-inducing treasure. As they begin to unravel the mystery before the midnight deadline, the storm knocks out the power in the mansion, and in a twist, some of the guests get knocked out, too. Will anyone be left to crack the riddle of the imp's name and escape? Or will a parade of surprise goodly guests only complicate their efforts as even more beloved characters become victims to the unknown assailant?" (playscripts.com)
     
    The Director rates this E for Everyone...unless fairy tale villains scare you.

  • Fall Visual Art Museum Trip - High Museum "GIANTS" Exhibition

    The High will be the exclusive venue in the Southeastern United States to present the first major exhibition of the world-class art collection owned by musical and cultural icons Swizz Beatz (Kasseem Dean) and Alicia Keys.
    Organized by the Brooklyn Museum, where it debuted in February, Giants will feature a focused selection from the couple’s holdings, spotlighting works by multigenerational Black diasporic artists, from 20th century legends such as Nick Cave, Lorna Simpson, and Barkley L. Hendricks, to artists of a younger generation including Deana Lawson, Amy Sherald, and Ebony G. Patterson, who are expanding the legacies of those who came before them.
    Giants stands as a testament to the Deans’ ethos of “collecting and preserving the culture of ourselves for ourselves, now and into the future.” Through approximately 115 objects, including 98 major artworks, the exhibition will trace the evolution of an audacious and ambitious collection and explore the ways in which the featured artists and their work have grappled with societal issues, embraced monumentality, and made a palpable impact on the art canon. In addition to paintings, photographs, and sculptures, the galleries will include noteworthy examples of the Deans’ early non-art collecting interests, including albums, musical equipment, and BMX bikes.
