Photos: OLM’s ‘A Family Night Under A Starry Sky’

Our Lady of Malibu hosted its third annual student art show, “A Family Night Under A Starry Sky,” with a special performance of “Romeo and Juliet” by the OLM seventh- and eighth-grade students. Families and friends had the opportunity to see the wide range of mixed media art work by kindergarten through eighth grade students while feasting at the outdoor cafe and wine bar, which served Italian cuisine and homemade desserts. 

With the help of “Art Angels” parent volunteers who teach the “Meet the Masters” program from kindergarten to fifth grade, the student art show reflected the creativity of the multitalented students and all they’ve learned throughout the year. As one parent said, “The art these kids are producing is very cutting-edge, unlike anything any other school is doing
