PENINSULA PERFORMS ARTS EDUCATION

Every student deserves meaningful access to the arts. Peninsula Performs! brings professional artists into K–12 classrooms across Port Angeles and Sequim to provide hands-on learning in music, dance, theater, and visual art as part of public education on the Olympic Peninsula. 

Peninsula Performs! connects working artists directly with classrooms through curriculum-integrated visits that align with Common Core and National Core Arts Standards. Designed in close collaboration with educators, these classroom experiences support academic learning while expanding students’ creative expression. Offered at no cost to schools or students, the program also strengthens the local arts ecosystem by employing Olympic Peninsula–based artists who bring care, rigor, and real-world practice into the classroom.
