The Peace Center’s Community Engagement initiatives seek to tell stories, amplify voices, educate and inspire through the arts. Our aim in community engagement is to create a more inclusive Peace Center by partnering with organizations to increase accessibility to programming, to represent the vast diversity of our community, and to be a welcoming space for all to experience performing arts.

A first of its kind, this program provides students with instruction and mentorship from world-class artists in dance, jazz, and classical music, with the goal of significantly enhancing their confidence and achievement as young artists.
The four-week program culminates in demonstrations and performances at the Peace Center.
These performances prepare up-and-coming student musicians for a career in the arts and entertainment industry by providing them a resume-building, professional opportunity to perform in paid settings.
Peace Voices is designed to create a vibrant community around courageous conversations. This program is the home for dynamic and insightful dialogue exploring important topics through lectures, guided panel discussions, film, and other artistic engagement.
Broadway Peace Talks give audiences a deeper dive into Broadway show histories, inspiration and the people who bring Broadway stories to life on stage. This is a free, webinar program that is open to the public.
