Educational Outreach

The UNCW Office of Cultural Arts serves thousands of K-12 students and teachers each year through the ARTworks initiative. ARTworks utilizes valuable campus and community partnerships with the Watson School of Education, Watson School of Education Professional Development System and New Hanover County Schools to provide teachers and students free live performances, professional development workshops and in-school artist residencies.

In 2010, the Office of Cultural Arts formed an official partnership with New Hanover County Schools and was accepted to the prestigious Partners in Education program of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Selected because of a demonstrated commitment to the improvement of education in and through the arts, the Partnership Team participates in collaborative efforts to provide professional development opportunities for educators.

In addition to the Kennedy Center, the Office of Cultural Arts has forged meaningful and strategic relationships with Jazz at Lincoln Center, the North Carolina Arts Council and the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Over the past five years, these relationships has provided outreach and performance opportunities for more than 25,000 students in our region.
