Arts Programs

Explore performing arts assemblies, artist residencies, and professional development workshops for K-12 students and educators.

Led by a diverse roster of teaching artists, our K-12 arts programs engage students across all grade levels, deepen their understanding of different perspectives and cultures, and offer innovative approaches to academic subjects. Our programs align with curriculum standards, authenticallyintegrate social and emotional learning, cultivate critical thinking, and nurture a deeper understanding of the arts.

K-12 Arts Programs

Assemblies + Workshops

From classical ballet to African drumming, our interactive assemblies inspire and educate students by introducing them to diverse art forms and cultures. Workshops build upon assembly performances by giving students the opportunity to experience an art form during an additional hands-on session with the artist.

Artist-in-Residence Programs

Artist-in-residence programs engage students in creative, hands-on experiences through a series of in-depth classroom visits from teaching artists who work alongside educators and students. Many residencies are arts-integrated, connecting skills and concepts in the arts with those in math, literacy, science, and more—like exploring math and music by writing poetry with algebra terms or handcrafting a mural depicting your local ecosystem.

Professional Development for Educators

Our professional development (PD) workshops equip K-12 educators with realistic, accessible, and fun techniques for integrating the arts with other subjects. These workshops help educators harness the power of arts to engage students of all grade levels and abilities in academic subject areas and address College and Career-Ready Standards.

“This residency was much more than the creation of a beautiful piece of art. Students were engaged in learning and translated that learning into art.”
