Cultural Experiences Partnerships

MPS Arts in partnership with Target, MacPhail Center for Music, The Cowles Center for Dance and Performing Arts, Children’s Theatre Company, Minneapolis Institue of Art, Minnesota Orchestra, Walker Art Center, The Ordway, Guthrie Theater, Project Success, Northrop, and Highpoint Center for Printmaking, are providing guaranteed arts and culture experiences for every 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th grade student enrolled in a MPS school. We will also be continuing to run pilot programs for Kindergarten students with MacPhail Center for Music, as well as adding an additional pilot program with Highpoint Center for Printmaking for 11th grade students. Tickets and bussing costs are paid for as part of the program. These opportunities ensure that all students have shared arts and culture experiences across the district.
