Classroom Connections
Classroom Connections goes beyond exposing students to performing arts – it brings the touring artists into the schools to demonstrate the process of making art, then welcomes the students into the theatre to see the finished product. Students are given the opportunity to experience theatre from the audience, and to interact one-on-one with the artists in their own classroom. The Carpenter Center also hosts several Story Contests each year to encourage reading and foster creativity in Long Beach students. To learn more, click here.
Over 10,000 students participate in Classroom Connections each year, funded through the generosity of:
Arts Council For Long Beach, Bess Hodges Foundation, Carpenter Family Foundation, Dwight Stuart Youth Foundation, Employee Community Fund of Boeing, LA County Supervisor Don Knabe, LeBurta Atherton Foundation, Long Beach Rotary Foundation, New England Foundation for the Arts, Kenneth T. & Eileen L. Norris Foundation, WESTAF, and all the patrons of Top of the World.
