Make a selection: Review this catalog and confirm the following information before contacting Young Audiences.
To schedule a particular artist or program, chose three possible dates.
Know what time of day you want to schedule the program(s); be aware of lunch and recess time so that the program does not conflict with school schedules.
Know the ages of students to be served and the number of students who will attend each program.
Please allow at least two weeks for the scheduling process.
Things to keep in mind when considering a performance:
Audience size is limited to 300 or fewer (unless otherwise noted).
Performances are approximately 50 minutes long.
Back-to-back or consecutive programs are defined as two performances by the same artist with no more than 30 minutes between presentations.
If you are interested in an ensemble or artist that does not offer single programs, and your school does not need two programs, consider coordinating with a neighboring school.
Things to keep in mind when considering a workshop:
Workshop size is limited to 30 or fewer (unless otherwise noted).
One teacher/qualified adult must be present and in the room for every 30 students.
Workshop length is approximately 45–50 minutes.
Fees are listed with each program description.
Things to keep in mind when considering a residency:
A Young Audiences residency is designed to fit your needs, your budget, and your schedule.
Residencies vary in length and can span days, weeks, months or an entire school year.
All residencies require at least one planning session with the artists and YA staff.
We suggest adding a professional development workshop for teachers.
Things to keep in mind when considering an exhibition:
Student docent groups are limited to 20 students, grades 4 and above.
One two-hour teacher training session is required for members of
the educator team.
One three-hour student docent training session at the museum is required for all student docents.
