For Artists – Field Arts and Events Hall

Welcome Artists!

Peninsula Performs! is a new arts education program that connects arts providers directly to students and educators in the Port Angeles School District (PASD). This curriculum-based arts integration approach uses music, dance, theater, and visual arts to find new entry points into learning and aligns with both Common Core State Standards and National Core Arts Standards.

Peninsula Performs! will launch in classrooms this fall for the 2022-2023 academic year.

Student Programs

View 2022 – 2023 programs and arts providers

Delivered during the school day by professional teaching artists and arts organizations, these programs help students learn curriculum (in English, math, science, social studies) through the arts (music, theater, dance, visual arts). Student programs have clear learning objectives and are aligned with both Common Core State Standards and National Core Arts Standards and take place in the school building.
Programs can be as short as one 30-minute session or as long as three one-hour sessions and can be offered as lecture demonstrations, hands-on workshops, or multi-day residencies.
Programs are provided to students in PASD grades K-12, serving approximately 1,000 students during this first year launch.

All programs work within a spectrum of arts integration from students participating as interactive audience members within a performance to students individually creating or performing.
All programs go through the Peninsula Performs! program application and selection process by a committee of PASD teachers and Field Hall staff.
Student programs are selected by teachers at the start of the school year to deepen and extend student learning.
PASD teachers use the Peninsula Performs! roster to search and select programs based on grade level, content area, or art form. Click here for the 2022-2023 roster.
