Arts
At the heart of Marlborough's Fine Arts program is the goal that students develop both an understanding of the creative process and a lifelong appreciation of the arts. Drama offerings range from open audition productions (an all-School and a Middle School performance) to student-directed work produced by the Drama Ensemble. The Winter Choral concert showcases the work of music classes, the Chamber Choir, and the Faculty Chorus. Instrumental Ensemble groups perform in a spring recital. Professional and student choreography is featured in the annual "Evening of Dance." Art exhibitions change monthly in the Disney Gallery and feature the work of both student and guest artists. Each year the Gallery hosts the Annual Invitational Show which includes art work from Los Angeles area schools. In addition to these larger venues, student work can be seen and enjoyed at lunchtime concerts, the "Evening of Scenes," and School assemblies. Several clubs offer opportunities to participate in the arts outside of the classroom experience as well.
Students have the opportunity to participate in arts activities, as a performer or observer, on a weekly basis.

Famous quotes containing the word arts:
“The textile and needlework arts of the world, primarily because they have been the work of women have been especially written out of art history. It is a male idea that to be “high” and “fine” both women and art should be beautiful, but not useful or functional.”
—Patricia Mainardi (b. 1942)
“For me, the principal fact of life is the free mind. For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity. A perpetually new and lively world, but a dangerous one, full of tragedy and injustice. A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.”
—Joyce Cary (1888–1957)
“As far as the arts and the sciences are concerned, the German mind appreciates most highly that which it does not understand of the latter, and that which it does not enjoy of the former.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
