JMArts and the Jordan-Matthews High School Fine Arts Department kick off this new season with “Taste of the Arts,” a 90-minute dessert cabaret featuring food, fellowship and inspiration — as well as a fundraiser for essential student arts projects.
Dessert and beverages from JM Culinary Arts will be served as you enjoy visual art and performances from some of JM’s many talented student artists — with students hosting the celebration.
