The arts are a vibrant, cherished part of life at the Professional Children’s School, and I am excited to share some of our students’ artwork with you.
PCS currently enrolls 197 students in grades 6-12, from 15 states and 15 countries, participating in a slew of professions from dance and music to theater and sports. With this diverse student body comes a breadth of art-making interest and experience ranging from extreme sophistication to limited exposure, and encompassing everything in between. While we are proud to graduate a few students every year who pursue visual art at the college level, a primary goal of our program is to foster a love of art and studio practice, and to raise visual awareness in the general student population, even as we support those for whom art is their passionately pursued profession.
We hope you enjoy our work.

PCS CENTENNIAL "QUILT"
In 2014, PCS celebrated its Centennial year. Students enrolled in the art classes from the academic years which included 2013 and 2014 were asked to create relief prints to contribute to a virtual "quilt", commemorating their time at PCS. Interpretation of the theme was open-ended.
