Arts Alive is our annual event that showcases outstanding arts education and student achievement in public schools.
The work included in Arts Alive is selected from state arts conferences, festivals, and exhibits throughout West Virginia by a competitive submission or invitation.
As a long-standing program, Arts Alive has expanded collaborations and interdisciplinary partnerships to include work from the following areas:
Dance
Music
Pre-k and kindergarten
Theatre and visual art
Students perform and exhibit work before an audience of students, family members, educators, policy makers, leaders, advocates and philanthropists.
This program aims to:
Support developing and established arts programs in public schools throughout West Virginia
Inspire local education systems to embrace the arts as an essential part of every child’s education
Empower the broader learning community to advocate for comprehensive arts education in public schools
Arts Alive is dedicated to arts education in West Virginia and remains committed to providing a venue where the arts are paramount, inspired teaching is honored, and the work of young artists is celebrated.
