TRI-ART (K-12) – To bring school age children to the Brooks Center for experiential exposure to the arts. Numerous internal and external partners. 12,000 in attendance in 2000-2001. Self-funded.

Each year the Brooks Center has about 2 dozen live performances for school age children (K – Grade 12). These events range from free to $2 per child. Our goal is simple: to develop and educate a diversified audience for the performing arts and to give children the opportunity to experience live performances. This year over 12,000 children have been bused in to the Brooks Center to attend concerts, plays, and workshops. We raise money through the private and corporate sector to be able to do this.

SCCT – Brooks Center as a satellite campus for the SCCT. Self-funded.
