Educational Outreach with the BPAC

We believe in the importance of arts education and invite many of our presenting artists to create interactive workshops and performances exclusively for local students.  Bitterroot Valley schools are invited to attend workshops and school-day performances at no or very reduced cost so our children can experience world-class arts.

We also recognize the life-long learning opportunities the arts offer for people of all ages, so with the cooperation of our presenting artists, we host master classes for adults and selected youth.  The small group setting we cultivate allows for a very intimate workshop environment.

If you share our passion for ensuring robust arts education, please let us know.  There are many opportunities to partner with the Bitterroot Performing Arts Council as a supporter of arts education.
