Arts in Education
Arts education is essential for engaging, enriching, and empowering our community. SOPAC provides a range of opportunities for students and teachers.
- School Performances: Live performances reinforce and enhance classroom learning, spark creativity, and cultivate a lasting passion for the arts.
- Residency Programs: Dance, Classical Music, and Jazz residencies are tailored to each school to support district staff and provide unique opportunities for students to collaborate with and learn from professional artists.
- Visual Arts Program: The INSPIRED MINDS: Young Artist Exhibition, presented in The Herb + Milly Iris Gallery, provides Essex County high school students with a professional experience, from the application and adjudication process to the exhibition and potential sale of their art.
