Arts in the A.M. is an interactive, intimate, integration of the arts that turns arts education into a masterpiece. Students and their teachers will be actively engaged in arts activities that will connect to core content standards on both state and national levels.

Components of the program include four 45-minute workshops in the areas of visual art, music, dance and theatre, plus a backstage tour of RiverPark Center's 100,000 square foot state-of-the-art theatre.

Workshops run for three hours and students are divided into groups for a more intimate hands-on experience. The cost of the program is $8.00 per student. For availability, contact Lynda Youngman at 270-687-2770 or lyoungman@riverparkcenter.org
