With support from the California Arts Council, the California Center for the Arts, Escondido will provide K-12 students the chance to experience visual and performing arts through two of its Education Programs. Arts Discovery field trips provide opportunities for students to participate in customized dance, drama, art, and music lessons. Center Stage Performances for Youth series provides twelve weekday matinee performances of theater, music, dance, and storytelling inside of our Center Theater.
The Center’s unique campus includes a 1,523-seat concert hall, a 404-seat theater, an art museum, art and dance studios, and a full-service conference center with meeting and banquet facilities. The Museum is an inviting 9,000-square-foot exhibition space with three galleries, a dedicated youth exhibition gallery wall, a sculpture court, secure collections storage, and a museum store.
The Center performing arts season presents 26 diverse offerings. The Museum presents four exhibitions a year. Each exhibition is enhanced by lectures, art education tours and activities. Each exhibition features the work of local students in order to engage youth in a deeper conversation around art and how it exists and impacts the world around them.
