Judith Gitlin Arts Teach @ The Mann

With the completion of The Mann Center’s $15 million in capital renovations in 2007, the Field Education Center was opened in the spring of 2007. This new space enabled The Mann to expand its educational programs by providing a studio space for intimate workshops, lectures and demonstrations for area youth to interact with local and internationally renowned artists, and engage personally with the performing arts.

This year, ArtsTeach programs reached over 5,600 youths from city wide schools, recreation centers, churches, and summer camps.  The Mann Center provides these exceptional programs and transportation free of charge to all participants.

Our Judith Gitlin ArtsTeach @ The Mann programs include 6 individual series: Meet the Artist, Tiny Tots Fascination Series, Greenfield Performance Treasures, Connecting Arts @ The Center, Artist in Residency and Master Class.  Explore the programs offered during our wonderful 2011 season below.

This series offers artistic, career-bound students the opportunity to collaborate with professional artists during workshops and performances.

This series engages students in grades PK-3 in participatory workshops in music, drama, puppetry, storytelling, dance, and movement.

This series connects our young people with professional artists in participatory activities that enrich, educate, and entertain.

This series connects young participants directly to artists from our Young People’s Concert Series in pre- and post-concert activities.

Judith Gitlin ArtsTeach @ the Mann just completed another fabulously successful season. Check out how our program has expanded through the years:
