The School Matinee Program (SMP) brings thousands of students from San Luis Obispo County and beyond to the Performing Arts Center for free live performances every year. The Poly Arts for Youth program co-contracts SMP artists and takes them to local K-12 school sites for in-depth, curriculum-based sessions with students.
