Costa Mesa Artventure!
Teachers and Students at Costa Mesa High School spent their weekend showcasing and sharing their artistic skills for the Costa Mesa Artventure held at the Norma Herzog Community Center on September 14, 2024 . Thank you to Keli Marchbank and Jackie Ames for representing our Newport-Mesa school community in Visual Art and Stacey Neacato for bringing our Estancia Students for their musical performance.
DONATE AN INSTRUMENT
If you have any unused musical instruments, please contact us or your child's school for information on how to make a tax-deductible donation that can help a deserving student. Band & orchestra instruments, guitars & ukuleles, hand drums, and small percussion are all needed.
“The arts especially address the idea of aesthetic experience. An aesthetic experience is one in which your senses are operating at their peak; when you’re present in the current moment; when you’re resonating with the excitement of this thing that you’re experiencing; when you are fully alive.”
― Ken Robinson
"The world always seems brighter when you've just made something that wasn't there before."

"To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it."
- Kurt Vonnegut

About Us
Newport- Mesa Unified believes that every student must have access to education and opportunities in the Visual and Performing Arts. The district is divided into 4 zones, each based upon the four comprehensive high schools that our middle and elementary schools feed into. There are arts opportunities at every site for every child.
We have partnerships with the city, community organizations, and arts communities throughout Orange County. We have created venues for student performances, written grants to enhance technology and learning in the arts, and have hosted events and festivals that allow our students to shine.
.For more information about visual and performing arts programs available to your child, please visit each individual school's website.
