Inspiring the Next Generation Through the Arts
At Stage WEST, we believe that the arts are a powerful tool for learning, growth, and self-expression. Our mission is to bring quality performing arts to Garrett County while fostering educational opportunities that inspire and engage local students. We are proud to offer Arts Education programs as part of our commitment to enriching the cultural fabric of our community.
Through a series of student educational master classes, fundamental workshops and school performances, Stage WEST provides local students with the chance to experience and learn from professional artists at no cost to them. These unique educational opportunities are designed to inspire creativity, broaden horizons, and cultivate new skills in the performing arts, giving students exposure to what they may not otherwise have access to in our area.
These exciting programs take place at the Performing Arts Center at Garrett College, providing students with a professional, welcoming environment to explore their passions and discover the magic of live performance.
Whether attending a master class or witnessing a live performance, students can engage directly with accomplished artists and deepen their understanding of the arts in a hands-on, meaningful way.
