Piedmont Arts hosted three arts education programs last month, serving 2,000 students in Martinsville and Henry County schools. These programs were offered free-of-charge to local schools as part of the museum's educational outreach program.
Brass 5: Why Music?
On April 19 and 26, Brass 5’s "Why Music?" took students in kindergarten through fifth grade on a musical adventure, exploring how music impacts us every day through communication, celebration, mourning, and entertainment. Students sang at the top of their lungs along with the ensemble and enjoyed every moment of this interactive assembly. This program served students at Meadowview, Stanleytown, Campbell Court, and Sanville elementary schools.
Preschool in the Galleries: Zip Zap Zop
On April 20, preschool students enjoyed a spring-inspired performance by Carlisle School’s Zip Zap Zop theatrical troupe as part of Piedmont Arts’ free Preschool in the Galleries program. Preschool in the Galleries is a free program designed to engage preschool students through the arts.
Barefoot Puppets: Galapagos George
April 21 and 22, students in kindergarten through fifth grade celebrated Earth Day 2022 with Barefoot Puppet Theatre’s performance, "Galapagos George," a silly re-telling based on the true story of Lonely George, the last of his species of Galapagos Tortoise. Students learned about the unique animals that call the Galapagos Islands their homes and the impact that human visitors have had on their populations. Students bopped along with catchy, original music, while helping George and his friends along on their journey. This program served students at Mount Olivet, Axton, and Rich Acres elementary schools, and the Collinsville YMCA after-school program.
