Winter Fine Arts Festival

The Winter Fine Arts Festival is the largest annual showcase of Ashland area grades 6-12 fine & visual arts, and the primary public fundraiser for AHAA. The event features art exhibits, live music and theater performances, as well as a catered dinner created by AHS Culinary Arts. Exhibits showcase student programs in woodworking, textiles, culinary arts, fine art, photography, digital design, band, orchestra, choir, dance, and theater.

The 31st WFAF is Friday, Dec 9, 2022

The 30th Annual Winter Fine Arts Festival (WFAF) was presented virtually, for the second year in a row due to the pandemic, on April 8, 2022. Normally this event would've been in December, 2021, but it was pushed back to spring 2022 due to the pandemic. The 31st WFAF is Friday, Dec 9, 2022, 5-8PM. The event featured fine arts from Ashland Middle School (AMS) and Ashland High School (AHS), fiber arts from AHS, musical ensemble performances from AMS and AHS, AHS Theatre clips from Bright Star and Cinderella, and solo musical theater performances.

These virtual events were a big success, but we look forward to returning to a live, in-person event in the Mountain Avenue Theatre in Ashland for late 2022.

The COVID-19 pandemic created huge technical challenges for ensemble directors, but it pushed everyone to explore creative ways to use technology to keep social distancing while still producing quality material.
