Master classes, lecture-demonstrations and interactive workshops provide opportunities for students to interact with and learn from Vivo Performing Arts artists in intimate settings, while post-performance artist talks offer our audiences the opportunity to connect directly with the artists in a question and answer format.

Many times, our subscription series artists are with us for only a short engagement. Thanks to our community engagement program, they are able to make a lasting impact on young artists, elders, and fans.

The Boston-based artists of our Neighborhood Arts program generously share their time and expertise with school groups, youth programs, and so much more. They share the joy and magic of the arts throughout our city!
