Photos: St. Thomas Aquinas Celebrates the Arts

St. Thomas Aquinas College held the Campaign for Artful Resistance: A Celebration of the Arts Saturday in the Romano Student Alumni Center.

The event is one of many organized nationwide by Save Our Schools, which works to support the arts in education and advocates a move away from a test-based curriculum.

The Celebration of the Arts was the first of three events at STAC funded with the help of a $5,000 grant from the First Niagara Foundation for "Enhancing and Enriching Literacy Across the Curriculum."

Singer, song writer and musiican Tom Chapin was the headline performer for an event that also featured theater, poetry, dancing, and juggling among its eclectic mix of entertainment.
