Fine Arts Patron Program

Our fine arts programs are deservedly honored with multiple awards and recognitions each year. In recent years, we have received multiple “superior” awards in the state music competition, high honors in theater from the Hennepin Arts Spotlight Awards competition, and multiple awards and honors in regional, state, national, and private competitions for our visual artists. We attribute this consistent success to our students’ talent and passion and the variety and quality present in our fine arts program. 

CA’s numerous fine arts programs converge in our award-winning Emerging Artist Cohort program. This cohort allows students to take a deep dive into their given areas of passion. Requirements include our highest-level arts classes, cohort readings and discussions, an arts-based internship, and a senior capstone project (either an exhibit or public performance).  

Of course, supporting such an outstanding arts program requires a significant commitment of resources, including financial resources.  Our new Fine Arts Patron Program is designed to ensure that CA both maintains and improves its world-class program. Annual donations from Fine Arts Patrons will go directly towards “what’s needed most,” as determined by our fine arts staff.  $25,000 was raised last year to fund a new front curtain for the auditorium  (coming soon) and new risers for our choirs.  Our goal is to raise an additional $25,000 this year to go toward new sound equipment for our school’s Praise Team and all new “smart” lighting for our auditorium. These projects have been identified by the leaders in CA’s Fine Arts Department as essential investments to further enrich our students’ artistic and worship experiences. 

Patron sponsorship levels include:

All Patrons will receive a beautiful Concordia Academy Fine Arts Patron pin.  We encourage Fine Arts Patrons to wear this pin at all CA fine arts events. Patrons will also be listed in playbills, programs, and on our website (unless you wish to opt out).
