Cpma art juries
Cpma art juries
Due to after-school complications, we have moved our art juries! Our juries will now be conducted on October 27th, 28th, 29th, in the Black Box Theater. They will take place DURING the student’s art class period. This will allow students to get the most out of their feedback.
What are Art Juries?
Our juries will still consist of students completing a 30-minute demo of a drawing skill and display of their student portfolios.
This also is an opportunity for students to get direct feedback, compliments, tips and how to move forward with their art practice.
We would love for parents/family to attend the art juries.
Please check into the office when you arrive.
Please see the class schedules and days below.

CPMA is going to GRIM in December!
Reaping souls is hard. Growing up is harder.
GRIM is an irreverent, hilarious and heartbreaking world-premiere musical that celebrates life… and death. After 300,000 years collecting souls, the Grim Reaper is retiring. All that stands between his daughter, Diana, and the big job is a simple test. That is, until she unexpectedly falls for dorky human teen Josh, and the beautiful chaos of humanity, planet Earth… and the DMV. If she loves life, can Diana really be in charge of ending it?
Event: GRIM
Date: 12/4/26
Time: 7:30 pm-10 pm (Run time: Approximately 2.5 hours)
Location: La Jolla Playhouse
