Jasper Community Arts, Greater Jasper Consolidated Schools, and Holy Trinity School proudly announce the Education Programming for 2019-2020.
For over 20 years, these partners have worked together to provide professional arts experiences, both in the schools and at the Jasper Arts Center, for Jasper students, K-12. We believe in developing an appreciation of the arts at a young age. Recent studies have shown that individuals with some arts background are more creative and bring the necessary skills to adapt in a rapidly changing world market. But...we hope the kids just have fun, too!
Many of our series performers will also be conducting school performances, master classes, or workshops. Several of our visual artists will also be found in classrooms. In addition, some guest artists are provided just for our school programming.
Attention Teachers! | Study Guides and detailed information are available by calling (812) 482-3070 or by e-mailing Donna Schepers.
