Online Lessons & Activities: Teaching with Capitol Art

Performances and Workshops

Our one-day, pre-packaged Performing Arts Corps program is the perfect introduction to the performing arts for your students and a great way to minimize the cost of bringing performers to your school. Even better, our performers leave you with curriculum you can use with other lessons in many subjects, inspiring student learning through the arts.

Check our our Performing Arts Corps artists and learn how you can bring one to your school for workshops and a schoolwide performance.
