Valley City  (CSi)  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 and the Bridges Arts Council.

The Bridges Arts Council says it’s excited to continue to work towards fulfilling its mission of providing advocacy for the arts and cultural organizations of Valley City, the Sheyenne River Valley and neighboring communities. The main branch of the Community School of the Arts has always been private lessons with faculty employed through the CSA, mainly in music.

Bridges Arts Council Arts Administrator, Nick Lee says,  we have a small group of dedicated faculty members, both VCSU employees and VCSU students that are willing to take on students. We currently have openings for voice students, piano students, and woodwind students. Application due date is Wednesday, September 8th.

If you (or your son/daughter) is interested in receiving private instruction you can contact the Bridges Arts Council Arts Administrator, Nick Lee, by email at administrator@bridgesarts.org to receive an application for the Community School of the Arts. An application doesn’t guarantee placement with an instructor as it is on a first come first serve basis. There is a cost associated with the private lessons. The cost associated with the lessons is primarily to pay the instructors.

Please reach out to administrator@bridgesarts.org if you have questions concerning the Community School of the Arts.
