Mother McAuley offers 20 courses in Visual Arts & Technology, and on May 7, we showcased the exceptional artwork that was created by our students in B-Wing throughout the year during Artapalooza! Students, faculty, staff, families, and community members had a chance to view the incredible artwork and enjoy food trucks at this annual event. We are so proud of our MIGHTY talented student artists!

Thanks to all of our families and friends who spent the afternoon with us!
