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.
Master classes were held on May 29, 2009 at the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque and on June 20, 2009 at the NDI-NM Dance Barns in Santa Fe, and at Alma d’Arte Charter School on December 5, 2009 in Las Cruces.
Stay tuned for announcements of future classes.
