Join Us for ArtWeek
 

Dear BFCCPS Community, 
 
The Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School is thrilled to be participating in the upcoming ArtWeek festival happening April 27 - May 6. 

Hundreds of events will be presented across the Commonwealth during the 10-day creative festival. You will find a  complete listing of events at artweekma.org.

ArtWeek is an award-winning innovative festival featuring hundreds of unique and creative experiences that are hands-on, interactive or offer behind-the-scenes access to arts, culture, and the creative process. Now an annual statewide festival, ArtWeek was born in Boston in 2013 and recently expanded its footprint across the Commonwealth.

Did you know that there will be fifty ArtWeek events happening right here in the town of Franklin!  


With our ongoing commitment to an arts education for all children, we hope you will join in this year's ArtWeek festivities!   

Many thanks to our Director of Fine and Performing Arts Mr. Christopher Heater, Mrs. Jennifer Sunday, Mrs. Lydia Lucas and Mrs. Marthali Nicodemus for organizing these events for the community.
