The New Mexico School for the Arts outreach program will offer opportunities for talented students to stretch the boundaries of their experience in two formats — the Master Class and the Summer Intensive.
Master Classes provide intermediate to advanced students with a one-day experience in arts mastery education from renowned professional artists. Middle and high school students with significant interest in one of four art disciplines — dance, music, theater, or visual arts — will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge.
Summer Intensives provide middle school students with the opportunity to work with a master artist / educator for a more in-depth exploration of their chosen art form. Students will strive to perfect techniques, acquire new skills, and gain a deeper appreciation for art.
For students hoping to one day attend the New Mexico School for the Arts, Master Classes and Intensives will present them with an introduction to the type of educational experience that will be offered.
Please see below for a list of upcoming programs. If there is not a Master Class or Intensive currently planned in your area, please do not be discouraged. Interested students should still fill out an application so that interest in the area can be assessed and he/she can be notified immediately of any local events.
