Fayette County is establishing a Community for the Creative Arts at Rising Starr Middle School.
The Board of Education approved the measure on March 26 as part of an effort to provide students with more opportunities to explore careers in the performing, media and visual arts. Students in seventh and eighth grade will be chosen by application and lottery to form creative teams that will collaborate with teachers and industry experts to produce works.
The county will hire a program coordinator and purchase necessary equipment. The school will form an advisory council and a nonprofit booster organization that will pursue additional outside funding.
