The Center for the Visual and Performing Arts is a rigorous four-year arts program that offers artistically talented high school students from all over Prince George’s County educational opportunities designed to prepare them artistically for college, professional study, or career options in the arts.

The Center has been in existence at Suitland High School since 1986 and functions as a school-within-a-school. Each year, graduating students earn millions in scholarship awards and attend some of the most prestigious conservatories, colleges and universities in the country.

 

To our many guests who attended the Arts Gala 2008 held at the Clarice Smith Center, thank you for attending this exceptional event. Due to technical difficulties the multimedia presentation of artworks by students majoring in the visual arts was not shared. As promised by the host for the evening, Mrs. Pat Lawson Muse, here is the link to this exciting student created presentation.
