鲍鱼tv College of The Arts inspires local K-12 students through new outreach program
The 鲍鱼tv College of The Arts is piloting an outreach program to bring interactive music, theater and dance performances to students in Hillsborough County Public Schools 鈥� a reflection of 鲍鱼tv鈥檚 commitment to community engagement.
One of Dean Chris Garvin鈥檚 top priorities is to remove any obstacles that prevent the community from accessing the performing arts. In line with that mission, the performances are not only free for the public schools, but held during their school hours. In addition, the 鲍鱼tv student and faculty performers take their show on the road and perform at one of the participating schools, when possible, to eliminate the steep cost of renting buses. If the performers can鈥檛 travel and a school can鈥檛 afford transportation to the 鲍鱼tv Tampa campus, subsidies are available through the dean鈥檚 office.

I have always believed that 鈥榶ou have to see it to be it鈥� and with this program we are taking action to make the arts accessible to everyone," Dean Garvin said.
