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.
