Meet the Artist Series
Our Meet the Artist series provides FREE, curriculum-based school performances by premier artists on our season. Students come to the Center and receive the full VIP treatment. We provide transportation support for those schools that cannot afford to send their students so that NO child is turned away. These performances are informative, interactive and fun. Teachers receive curriculum materials to prep their students prior to attending. These one-hour matinees are frequently sold out and serve students from kindergarten through high school.
Connect your students to the arts.
For more information about Meet the Artist and/or to schedule your class, call ArtPlay at 205 975 4769 or email Carlee Sinkus.
