On April 11, the International Cultural Center «Union» hosted the 50th anniversary celebration of Odessa Art School No. 12!
Over the years, the school has become a hub of creativity and professional development. New departments and ensembles were established, including the vocal ensemble Anima, a folk instrument orchestra, mixed vocal-instrumental groups, a guitar ensemble, the Gloria dance ensemble, and the children’s theater group «Dzherelo», which has been awarded the title of «Exemplary» for the third time this year, as well as a folk instruments quintet.
For half a century, the school’s teachers have been introducing children and youth to the world of art, nurturing new talents, and enriching the cultural life of our city. Students have repeatedly become scholarship holders of the Odessa mayor and laureates of national and international competitions, bringing fame to the school. Hundreds of graduates have successfully embraced their artistic careers. The teachers are true masters of their craft, tirelessly imparting knowledge and a love for creativity to new generations.
To commemorate the anniversary, a festive concert took place featuring both young talents and their instructors.
The concert also included a ceremonial awards presentation for teachers who have made significant contributions to the school’s development. The school received congratulations from friends, art schools, libraries, and Odessa Lyceum No. 5.
Additionally, an exhibition showcasing students' artistic works was presented.
