ArtQuest is an award-winning public school magnet program for the Visual and Performing Arts at Santa Rosa High School. In the heart of artistically rich and diverse Sonoma County, ArtQuest offers an "above and beyond" experience in the Visual and Performing Arts. At ArtQuest, the passion, commitment, and discipline of the Arts is connected to the energy of academic study: inspired by guest artists; enlarged by meaningful off-site visits, exhibits, and performances; enriched by its proximity to Santa Rosa Junior College, the Santa Rosa Community Media Center, and numerous nearby cultural organizations; and nurtured by generous parent, community, and business support. ArtQuest is a place where students, from all over Sonoma County and beyond, come together as young artists to exhibit, perform, and begin to build their dreams into realities, and to pursue artful lives, wherever they may lead...

Arts' Specialties:
ArtQuest offers eight Arts disciplines as specialty focuses. Students enroll for two hours daily in their Arts Specialty in most levels and areas. Arts Specialties in the Visual Arts include Digital Arts, Photography, Video Arts, and Visual Fine Arts. The Performing Arts offer Dance, Theatre Arts, Instrumental Music, and Vocal Music. Curriculum is organized around both the California Content Standards in the Arts and the California Visual and Performing Arts Framework, incorporating the five components of Arts Education:
• Artistic Perception
• Creative Expression
• Historical and Cultural Context
• Aesthetic Valuing
• Connections/Relationships/Applications
