Friends of the Fine Arts
Friends of the Fine Arts is an organization of parent, teachers, administrators, and community volunteers whose purpose is to support the visual and performing arts by giving of their time and talent. To enhance the programs of visual arts, music, and theatre, the Friends seek to engage the TIS community in supporting the fine arts programs by helping to publicize fine arts events, mounting exhibitions, hosting receptions, and offering their support wherever needed.
The co-presidents for the 2010- 2011 school year are Kim Grossardt and Karen Malone.
