The Hill School's arts facilities
	Center For The Arts   The Hill School Center For The Arts (CFTA) is a 31,000-square-foot, $6.9 million dollar visual and performing arts center that opened in the fall of 1989.  Designed by H2L2 Architects of Philadelphia, the CFTA was awarded top honors for its design and was the first-place winner in the National Excellence in Construction Competition in 1990.  The CFTA houses the Center Theatre, a 700-seat proscenium theatre that serves as a learning laboratory for budding actors and actresses, scenic and lighting designers, and theatre technicians. It also is the home of The Ellis Theatre Guild, a student-run production company that has mounted more than 60 productions in the theatre since its opening. The stage has a 50-foot wide proscenium arch and is 35 feet deep. It boasts a computerized lighting system, a recently upgraded digital sound system, a 27-line counterweight system, and 100-foot-high loft where scenery can be hung to clear it from the stage. The Center hosts a variety of professional performing artists as well as area performing arts organizations in a schedule that rivals professional road houses.

	The Boyer Gallery
	The Boyer Gallery is one of the finest facilities of its kind in the tri-county area, providing approximately 2,000 square feet of well-lit exhibit space. Indented wall space juxtaposed with a handsome curved wall and a built-in oak bench creates the perfect setting for two and three dimensional works. Well-known regional artist Mildred Sands Kratz has described it as “the finest exhibit space on the East Coast.” The Gallery presents a series of art exhibits each year, including solo exhibitions of local and regionally recognized artists, as well as area art guilds and student shows. The Center maintains a permanent collection of area artists who have exhibited in the Center as well as works of exceptional Hill students. Each year between 650 and 750 guests visit the gallery.

	The Creative Woodworking Shop
	Following a long tradition of excellence and reflective of current trends in woodworking, the creative woodworking shop provides students at all skill levels with opportunities to complete individual or group projects. During the 2001-02 school year, 17 students and faculty members constructed as many touring kayaks over the course of the year. Following that, they traveled together to the Chesapeake Bay where all 17 kayaks were launched and their kayakers trained in paddling safety and paddling techniques. More recently, a similar number of students designed and created their own electric guitars from scratch while learning a variety of woodworking skills associated with their construction.
