ASC Arts Education

Inviting Everyone to Engage, Explore, and Discover!

The Alys Stephens Center's Arts in Action program brings great education and outreach programs to students and adults alike. We are committed to providing meaningful interaction with renowned artists and exciting opportunities for artistic growth and development for students, parents, and teachers.

Our mission is to make the performing arts accessible to the broadest possible audience through extensive arts education programs, classes, and events designed to cultivate an understanding and appreciation for the arts. The arts provide a basis for learning, growing, connecting with other cultures, and exchanging ideas.

Our programs include:

• Free Prelude pre-concert talks offered throughout the season and open to everyone
• ASC Kids' Club performances for families
• Meet the Artists events offered to schools
• Martin Hames Arts Mentoring Program for middle and high school students
• Development Workshops for educators
• ASC Kids' Club on the Road taking artists into local schools
• Summer Camps and year-round Workshops for children

Arts in Action would not be in existence without the generous support of our dondors and sponsors.
