Welcome to the IH Arts Conservatory Weekly Newsletter!


Hello everyone, and welcome back to The Director’s Chair!


As we head into winter break, I want to take a moment to pause and reflect with gratitude on an incredible semester across the arts at Indian Hill. From our youngest artists in kindergarten to our seniors with only one semester remaining in our halls, it has been a joy to watch creativity, collaboration, and growth come to life in our classrooms, studios, and performance spaces!


This week’s video is a special one. Our entire arts team—visual, digital, and performing arts teachers, K–12—wanted to send their warmest holiday wishes to our students and families. We hope this break brings you time to rest, recharge, and enjoy moments with the people and activities you love most.


Thank you for sharing your creativity with us this year! We can’t wait to welcome our students back in 2026, refreshed and ready for another inspiring chapter together!


Happy holidays, and enjoy the video!

The Red Letter Delivery


I am thrilled to share a brand-new arts experience designed to celebrate and elevate the creativity of our student artists: The Red Letter Delivery!



Launching this January, 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.

Each month, subscribers will receive a professionally printed 5x7 piece of original student art, paired with a personal note from the student artist sharing the inspiration behind their work. It’s a meaningful blend of creativity and storytelling—offering a tangible connection to the imagination, voice, and heart of our students.


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.


Our debut edition, arriving in January 2026, celebrates Home for the Holidays and features a stunning portrayal of the Cincinnati skyline by IHHS student artist Norah Condorodis. Her artwork captures warmth, nostalgia, and family history—an especially poignant tribute inspired by her grandfather and great uncle, whose stories are woven into the spirit of the city.


As I shared in the announcement,“This is more than an art subscription—it’s a tangible connection to our students’ imagination and heart. Each red envelope is a moment of surprise and delight, and the artwork inside makes a truly special gift for someone who loves both mail and art.”

Subscriptions are open now, with the first delivery arriving in January 2026. Subscriptions may also be purchased as gifts and mailed anywhere—making The Red Letter Delivery a thoughtful and meaningful present for the art lovers in your life.


I hope you’ll join us in celebrating this beautiful new way to support and experience the arts at Indian Hill—one red envelope at a time.
