Vision for Fine Arts

Our vision is to assist every Fine Arts student to transition to a meaningful postsecondary life through the arts.

Mission

The mission of the Bastrop ISD Fine Arts Department is to provide equitable access to opportunities as well as high-quality programs that foster connections to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to successfully express themselves individually and as a member of a group.
