The Gibbs Cancer Center 2023–2024 Peace Broadway season announcement is coming April 17th!
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.
Peace Voices is the home for dynamic and insightful artistic engagement and dialogue. Through diverse offerings in spoken word, film, lectures, and performance, Peace Voices creates a vibrant community and courageous conversations.
Upcoming Events:
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.
Generously supported, in part, by Forrest A. and Maryann C. Abbott Endowment at the Community Foundation of Greenville.
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.
