Mercer Island, WA, March 13, 2025 - The Mercer Island School District, in collaboration with the Mercer Island Fine Arts Advisory Council, invites the Mercer Island community to the annual Fine Arts Showcase, a two-day event celebrating the amazing accomplishments of our K-12 students in Performing Arts (Music and Drama) and Visual Arts.
Artwork from our talented elementary, middle school, and high school students will be displayed throughout Mercer Island High School on Tuesday, April 1 and Wednesday, April 2. The Showcase takes place from 5:30pm to 8:30pm on April 1 and 5:30pm to 9pm on April 2.
The Showcase is not a ticketed event, but we do encourage our community to make a donation to the Fine Arts Advisory Council.
