We offer youth performances that cultivate future audiences, learning opportunities to impact teaching practices and artist master classes connecting you directly with visiting artists. Our productions are professional touring companies.
Arts Education:
- Cultivates WONDER
- Supports teachers by expanding classroom pedagogy to reach all learners
- Promotes creativity as a practical, transferable and empowering skill
- Provides equitable access to high quality and lifelong learning experiences in the arts, both in the school and in the community
We look forward to introducing your students and your family to the transformational power of the arts!
Invest in Students & Families in Our Community
Become a Performing Arts Education Sponsor!
When you partner with the Midwest Trust Center’s Arts Education program to sponsor family-focused performances, you help bring artists from around the world to our community. You provide opportunities for young people to connect with visiting artists and you help grow future audiences for the performing arts. You also put your name and brand in front of a youth-focused audience, serving more than 20,000 students, teachers, and families each season.
Your sponsorship of performances targeted to schools and families connects your brand with making a positive cultural impact. Business partners receive a range of benefits that can be shared with employees and clients, including free receptions in conjunction with performances, and VIP invitations to events.
