Welcome to Washburn High School Arts

Washburn is in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and is known for offering outstanding visual and performing arts. Students can explore pottery, choir, Black Box spoken word theater, orchestra, band, visual arts, and traditional theater.

Washburn is dedicated to providing a well-rounded education in the 3 As: Academics, Arts, and Athletics. Our art programs encourage student involvement, foster a sense of belonging, and improve culture and attendance.

What We Do

The Washburn Arts Council (WAC) is a committed group of parent advocates who partner with Washburn faculty to support all Washburn Arts programs. We organize fundraising efforts, build community relationships, and raise recognition about the value of arts.

Thank You for Supporting our Arts Students

Our proud tradition of excellence in the arts curriculum and programming is directly due to the generosity of parents, alumni, extended family, local businesses, and neighbors. Every dollar makes a difference. WAC is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Thank you for your support!
