For Schools,For Teaching Artists
In collaboration with Boston Public Schools, the Education Department conducts artist residencies focusing on the performing arts. Teaching Artists conduct an in-depth residency with students culminating in a performance sharing at the school. At a time when arts dollars are being cut from school budgets, the Education Department at Citi Performing Arts Center strives to fill the gap in arts education and to play a leadership role in arts program delivery and resource coordination.
In the fall of 2010 and spring of 2011, Citi Performing Arts Center partnered with Boston Public Schools in the "Target Arts Program," an artist residency and ticket access program generously funded by a grant to the BPS from the Target Corporation. The goal of the program was to improve school success, engage families and strengthen community by providing access to Boston's rich offerings of music, dance, visual arts, theater and cultural events. More than 2,000 students in selected schools gained greater exposure to Boston's theater district through the residencies and associated ticket access.
