Engage Students With Creative Learning
Young Audiences presents professional artists who engage young people in creative learning through the arts.
Whether it's a schoolwide assembly performance or a hands-on workshop for 20-30 students, we can help you achieve your district's curricular goals with high-level, artistic learning experiences. Our long-term arts residencies can be designed to suit your students' needs. The wide range of programs reinforce core curriculum - including math, science, and social studies - and are designed to build 21st century life skills such as problem-solving, creativity, and self-awareness.
Art forms include many genres of music, multi-media arts, theater, dance, and visual and literary arts. In 2010-2011, we served over 60,000 young people. 400 of those students gained significant learning in the arts with full year partnerships after school. Long-term residencies in schools of 6 to 35 sessions each furthered the learning opportunities for nearly 2,000 students.
