Student Arts Enrichment Programs

At the Kravis Center, we firmly believe that by sowing the seeds of creativity in one child’s imagination, we are providing a solid foundation for their future cultural appreciation. A number of quality programs, coordinated through our Education and Community Outreach Department, help us plant those seeds.

For more information on any of our education and outreach programs, please call the Kravis Center Education and Community Outreach Department at 561-651-4251.

STUDENT ARTS ENRICHMENT TASK FORCE

We want to know what’s on young people’s minds and the members of this special task force have no problem speaking theirs. The group establishes a forum through which high school and college students can tell us what they would like to see offered as part of the Kravis Center’s Community Outreach Program. Task force members also act as their schools’ liaisons to promote a myriad of other educational programs at the Center, while accruing community service hours and gaining valuable knowledge about the inner workings of a professional performing arts center.
