Our educational outreach program is called ArtsPath. ArtsPath is a regional arts-in-education program in partnership with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and is one of twelve throughout the state funded by the PCA. In addition to professional artist residencies in schools, ArtsPath also serves to advance workshop, master classes, and other outreach in connection with Ovations!, IUP’s premiere touring performing artist series.
Through this work, ArtsPath reaches upwards of 5,000 area elementary and secondary students each year, plus thousands of IUP students and other community members.
Organized in partnership with the Indiana Arts Council, a wide variety of outreach in conjunction with Ovations! events is already planned, with more to be announced. If you would like to participate in any of these activities or have any questions, please contact Jeff Wacker, associate director for arts-in-education services, by calling 724-357-2787 (ARTS) or e-mail jwacker@iup.edu.
