Education

At Jefferson Center, we believe the arts play an essential role in teaching young people about the world and the people with whom they share it. With the most diverse arts programming in the Roanoke Valley, we aim to harness the power of the arts to change lives. With our Sisters of the Circle and Music Lab programs, Jefferson Center has created a model for the future that better prepares our young people to serve the community. It truly is a new era in arts education. The interaction between the professional touring artist and the young aspiring musicians from our community is opening doors and creating opportunities. Offering insight and support so that they believe in the power of their own voice, these experiences ensure that they can be heard through the art and music that they are creating.
