Visual Arts

The Vermillion Public Schools Foundation is committed to supporting visual arts education from pre-school to high school. Involvement in the visual arts has been found to enhance skills in reading, math, critical thinking and verbal skills. As stated by the South Dakota Department of Education, “Through the visual arts students are provided an opportunity to discover, develop, and actualize their unique potential.”

The Foundation has designated elementary arts education as a fundraising and programming focus. One of the ways we are bringing arts education to our elementary students is through a program called “Arts Attack,” which provides high-quality video-based lessons designed by an arts educator.
