The Director's Chair with Amy Clark

Welcome to the 2026-2027 School Year!

The Indian Hill Arts Conservatory is excited to provide students with opportunities to explore their creativity, build confidence, collaborate with others, and discover new passions through a wide range of artistic experiences. The arts play an important role in fostering creativity, communication, and connection while helping every student find a place to grow and belong.

Throughout the year, families are encouraged to stay engaged by attending performances and exhibitions, following the Arts Conservatory on social media, reading the weekly newsletter, and watching The Director's Chair for behind-the-scenes stories and updates.

The Red Letter Delivery

The Red Letter Delivery is a monthly art subscription that brings the beauty of Indian Hill student artwork directly to your mailbox—delivered in our signature red envelope—for just $8 per month.

All proceeds from The Red Letter Delivery will be reinvested into the Indian Hill Arts Conservatory, directly supporting arts programming and creative opportunities for students across our district. This project is generously sponsored by the Indian Hill Foundation.

On Monday, July 27, the Indian Hill Arts Conservatory was honored to welcome the world-renowned Phantom Regiment to campus for a full day of rehearsals as they prepared for one of the summer's premier Drum Corps International competitions. Experiences like this exemplify the mission of the Indian Hill Arts Conservatory—connecting our students with exceptional artists and creating meaningful opportunities to learn, grow, and be inspired.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in, volunteered for, sponsored, and supported the 5th Annual Indian Hill Golf Outing!

Proceeds from the outing directly support meaningful opportunities and programming for our student-artists and student-athletes, enriching their educational experiences both on the field and in the arts.
