Welcome to Global Arts: Performances for Schools!

Global Arts features the best in national and international performing arts events through the Fine Arts Center for school audiences. Every performance is carefully selected to meet the highest artistic standards while complementing your school's curriculum. All performances meet the Curriculum Frameworks as established by the Massachusetts Department of Education. These performances present a world view of the arts and can augment curricula in the areas of geography, history, science, social studies, language studies, and fine and performing arts.

This academic year features electrifying stepping and African dance; mesmerizing spectacle and visual story telling; powerful Taiko drumming; and a whimsical, acrobatic exploration of an early energy source: windmills.
