Programs
Ticket Town is a program that connects young people with local art experiences. Since October 2017, over 1,500 students have attended over 150 performances and exhibitions by groups like WV Symphony Orchestra, the Charleston Ballet, Charleston Light Opera Guild, and more.
The Children’s Art Fair is the perfect two days of family fun, and is adjacent to the Capitol Street Art Fair where dozens of professional artists sell their works. The Children’s Art Fair & Sale offers young artists the chance to interact with each other and the public.
Art-for-ALL is a kid’s juried art exhibition that is open to ALL children in grades pre-K through 6th grade. Art-for-ALL is a teen version for students 7th-12th grade. The exhibition provides a forum for student artists to display their work and to recognize young artists who may otherwise not get to show their work publicly.
