VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Valley City State University Community School of the Arts is now under the administration of the Bridges Arts Council through an agreement between Valley City State University (VCSU) and the Bridges Arts Council. The Bridges Arts Council is excited to continue to work towards fulfilling its mission of providing advocacy for the arts and cultural organizations of Valley City, the Sheyenne Valley and neighboring communities.
Spokesman Nick Lee said the main branch of the Community School of the Arts (CSA) has always been private lessons with faculty employed through the CSA, mainly in music. We have a small group of dedicated faculty members, both VCSU employees and VCSU students that are willing to take on students.
The Valley City State University Community School of the Art (CSA) is currently enrolling students for the 2022-2023 School Year. Applications are due Friday, September 2nd. The VCSU Community School of the Arts (CSA) offers many musical opportunities to the Valley City, ND area including private music lessons by highly trained instructors in a variety of instruments such as piano, guitar, stringed instruments, brass, woodwinds, and voice. We also have a women’s choir and community band open to whomever is interested – no auditions required.
