Educational Programs & Engagement

Through exposure to live performance and lively participation, we seek to ensure that the arts remain an integral part of our community’s rich inheritance. We offer educational programs for grades K-12 that meet California Arts Standards as well as Common Core State Standards.

For UC Davis students, through exposure to the performing arts, we hope to inspire the sensibilities and intellectual curiosity that sustain a fully engaged life.

Arts Education K-12

Mondavi Center Arts Education is committed to providing the best opportunities for students of all ages to experience and appreciate the performing arts. We have designed culturally intensive educational programs for grades K-12 to meet the California Arts Standards as well as Common Core State Standards, and to open the classroom to the creative and imaginative process. For adults, our goal is to inspire the sensibilities and intellectual curiosity that sustain a fully engaged life. Through exposure to live performance and lively participation, we seek to ensure that the arts remain an integral part of our community’s rich inheritance.
