Community Engagement

Introduce your students to the Peace Center through our Peace Center Student Matinees! Our arts programs invite young learners to become global citizens in an active exploration of world music, dance, and theater.

The Peace Center’s Arts Education and Community Engagement Department introduces the Artist Residency Program to provide creative and unique opportunities for students, educators, and community members.

Arts industry professionals will lead workshops, intensives, and private coaching to hone performing arts abilities, strengthen audition skills, and guide the exploration of new arts genres.

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.

Learn from the Masters! Emerging artists are given valuable access to world-class performers in the fields of music, dance, and musical theater. Master classes provide coaching and mentoring to assist young artists in reaching their artistic and professional goals.

Cultural master classes and workshops are free for ticket holders of the accompanying performances. Participants grow from personal feedback while observers gain a unique insight into the mind of a professional musician and the mastery necessary to achieve a high-quality performance.

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.
