From music and theater performances to visual art exhibitions, film screenings, and hands-on creative experiences, Viewpoint’s annual Arts Fest transformed campus into a vibrant celebration of artistic expression on Saturday, May 30.

Students, families, alumni, and community members gathered throughout the Middle and Upper School campus to experience the incredible range of artistic talent on display across all divisions. Held in conjunction with Alumni Day, this year’s Arts Fest welcomed a strong turnout of alumni, many of whom returned to reconnect with former classmates, teachers, and the arts programs that helped shape their Viewpoint experience.

One of the day’s most memorable moments took place during the Voices Now performance in the Ecolet. In a surprise tribute to the program’s legacy, current members of the ensemble invited “Voices Then” alumni in attendance to join them onstage for a heartfelt rendition of “Smile.”

Another beloved Arts Fest tradition took center stage in the Carlson Family Theater, where Viewpoint’s Primary and Lower School choirs joined Upper School choir students for a collaborative performance before a packed audience.

Throughout the day, visitors explored artwork created by students across all grade levels, attended screenings of student films and documentaries, enjoyed theater and dance performances, and participated in interactive experiences designed to inspire creativity. New additions this year included a collaborative all-school art installation at the Love of Learning Wall, custom button-making activities, and a live mural painting experience led by Middle School students.

“I am so excited about this year’s Arts Fest,” said Kristin Herkstroeter, Chair of the Music Department and organizer of the event. “The Arts continue to thrive at Viewpoint, and Arts Fest is a wonderful opportunity for our community to experience the breadth and vibrancy of our Arts Programs. It is a true celebration of our incredibly creative, talented, and hard-working students.”

By bringing together current students, alumni, families, and community members, Arts Fest 2026 showcased the lasting impact of the arts within the Viewpoint community.
