The Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center is holding a town hall meeting to gather suggestions on ways to improve arts education.
SKyPAC is hosting the meeting Thursday, Aug. 4.
SKyPAC education outreach coordinator Joshua Miller says the goal is to get feedback from community members, educators, and artists about the center’s outreach efforts aimed at young people.
“What you’re investing in is potentially the citizen for the next 30 years of where you’re living. I think it’s just important that we pore into them, and create opportunities for the youth--as well as the community--to express, to collaborate, to be together in spaces, especially with everything going on in our society today.”
Miller says those attending will be asked for input on the following questions:
- What arts education characteristics are most important to your community?
- How can SKyPAC ensure that arts education programs in your schools and communities are successful?
- How can SKyPAC help your community to better celebrate the arts?
- What arts education and community initiatives do you expect from SKyPAC?
SKyPAC serves a ten county region in southern Kentucky, including Allen, Barren, Butler, Simpson, and Logan.
The arts education town hall is being held Thursday evening at 6:30pm in SKyPAC’s Main Hall. A reception is being held at 5:30 in the Laura G. Turner Charitable Foundation SKyPAC lobby.
