The Little Rock School District presents Artistry in the Rock 2025, an annual showcase of student talent in the performing and visual arts. The event will take place March 17-20 at the Arkansas State Fairgrounds – Hall of Industry Building, offering a vibrant display of artistic expression through music, dance, drama, and visual art.
Each day from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, visitors can experience a gallery of student artwork alongside a lineup of musical and dance performances from LRSD schools. The schedule features a variety of ensembles, including elementary handbell groups, middle school jazz bands, high school choirs, orchestras, and dance troupes.
In addition to the daytime performances, Artistry in the Rock will present special evening performances highlighting an LRSD adult jazz band with a cameo by the superintendent and some of the District’s top student musicians. These 6:00 PM performances will include standout groups such as the LRSD Jazz Band, Voices Without Borders Honor Ensemble, and the Southwest High School Jazz Band.
A highlight of the week is the Auction on Wednesday night, where attendees will have the opportunity to bid on stunning art pieces. Proceeds from the auction will go toward scholarships for graduating seniors planning to pursue a major in the arts.
Artistry in the Rock is a free event, open to the public, making it an excellent opportunity for families, educators, and community members to support young artists and celebrate the incredible talent within LRSD. For the full schedule and more details, visit www.LRSD.org/Artistry.
