Mean Mary James To Visit Academy of Fine Arts Students

In case you have not heard, Mean Mary James will be visiting our school on March 28th to have a meet and great with our students. All students, no matter what department they are in at our school, can attend this event at 6:00 pm in our Woodward location.


The purpose of the meet and greet is to allow our students to meet a professional performer! Mary James is a musician and vocalist with a great story that has led her to where she is today. Follow and accident that damaged her vocal chords, Mary James knows that it takes a love for what you do, dedication and commitment, and never giving up when times seem hard to achieve your dream.


Although she performs under the name of Mean Mary James, there is absolutely nothing mean about her but her fast banjo picking! Mary plays eleven different instruments, has co-authored books and written her own music and songs.


After the meet and greet, Mary will be forming a small concert venue at the Josie Adams Cultural Center. We hope that all our parents will want to attend with family and friends since this is also a fundraiser to purchase more equipment for our school. the concert starts at 7:00 pm with food and beverages first. (Students can stay at our school for a movie, pizza and popcorn for only $10 per person! Now that is a cheap baby sitter!)


We think that you will be amazed by Mary James journey and her music and hope you will plan to purchase tickets and attend.
