Congratulations to our Greenie artists for having 14 pieces of their work be part of this year’s Western North Carolina Regional Scholastic Art Awards.

Judging was open to every student in grades 7 through 12 across the region.

Friday is a big day for one Christ School alumnus as it is the opening of the “Kindred Worlds: The Priscila and Alvin Hudgins Collection” art exhibition at the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, N.Y.

Alvin graduated in 2005 and was a key contributor to the first Greenies state championship in basketball his senior year. He was also a Senior Leader in Noland House and sang in the Choir.

No local art gallery could offer boys from Christ School the same level of exposure.

Asheville Regional Airport is the third busiest airport in North Carolina, having served a record 1,838,793 passengers in 2022, a 29 percent increase over the previous year.

Five boys from Christ School have been recognized as part of the annual Western North Carolina Regional Scholastic Art Awards.

Christ School art students will never look at an empty plastic container the same way again.

Tryon, N.C., sculptor David Edgar was on campus Friday, leading a hands-on demonstration in the Kennedy-Herterich Art Studio at the invitation of his friend, Greenie alumnus Stan Gibson ’58.

Artistic expression will always be encouraged and nurtured at Christ School, whatever form it takes.

From poets to painters, illustrators to sculptors, no exhibit or show could possibly show off the collective talent of the school community better than the Struan magazine. More than 50 pieces from students and faculty are in this year’s journal of art and writing, which was published shortly before the boys left for Summer Break.

Fine Arts instructor Erin Price begins every school year with a blank canvas, meaning there is an innate joy in seeing each new group of students push their boundaries.

The quality of work and variety of mediums offered by Christ School is reflected again in this year’s Western North Carolina Regional Scholastic Art Awards.

Art is subjective, but judges with the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers have specific criteria in mind when it comes to the annual Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.

Excellence in originality, technical skill, and emergence of a personal voice or vision were all used to pick this year's national winners out of nearly 230,000 submissions. Only 1 percent of pieces were deemed worthy of a National Medal Award, with a Christ School senior's painting included in that exclusive group.

Asheville and the surrounding areas have long been known as an artistic mecca. Christ School students are doing their part to maintain this reputation with their painting, photography, and mixed media work.

Six Greenies have been recognized in this year’s Western North Carolina Regional Scholastic Art Awards.

Fine Arts students at Christ School might not know Ian Wilkinson personally, but they probably know his work.

The Asheville muralist has been involved in projects all over town – from an iconic water tower in the River Arts District to a re-creation of Catawba Falls splashed across some downtown stairs. And perhaps the piece most recognizable to Greenies? A scene painted on the side of the 12 Bones Smokehouse South restaurant.

Grab some refreshments and find a comfortable seat. Christ School Winter Film has taken care of Friday night entertainment for this week.

National Poetry Series winner Jon Sands shared some of his finest work and insight into his creative process during a two-day visit to Christ School.

Christ School students William David ’21 and Ethan Park ’23 have made the cut for a February 9 awards ceremony at the downtown Asheville Art Museum. 

"Red Dead Redemption 2" was nothing short of a cultural phenomenon when it was released in October 2018. The western-themed video game generated $725 million in worldwide sales the first three days it was out. As of May, more than 24 million copies have been shipped, and along with commercial success, critics have showered the game with praise for its story, characters such as gun-toting outlaws Arthur Morgan and John Marston, its open world, and detail. Look closely in the credits for "Red Dead Redemption 2" and you will find a Greenie. Christ School alumnus Judson Eley '06 has been an Environment Artist for Rockstar Games for the past five years. 

Oftentimes, the most memorable submissions for Christ School's arts and literary magazine come from unlikely sources. Such is the case again this year. The Struan, a 64-page annual collection of works from Greenie students and faculty, was published last week.

Christ School junior Aaron Chen '20 has been chosen to play cello for the second summer in a row with Carnegie Hall's National Youth Orchestra 2 (NYO2).

Asheville's renowned arts scene owes a great deal to the Montford Park Players. The theater company puts on the longest running Shakespeare festival in North Carolina and entertains more than 10,000 patrons a year. And when the Montford Park Players need one of the area's most capable directors, they often look to Christ School.

Christ School sophomore William David '21 is the winner of two Silver Keys in this year's Western North Carolina Regional Scholastic Art Awards.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Association of Asheville and Buncombe County was a little hesitant to allow a youth to speak at its 2018 candlelight service. Kobi Selby '19 not only calmed any fears, he earned a repeat invitation.

The reviews are in for the first year of Winter Film at Christ School.
