Welcome to Arts Commons—where curiosity takes flight and imagination knows no bounds!

In our One Day, Two Day, or Five Day Wonders programs, students and teachers get to dive deep into hands-on learning with industry experts. It’s an experience that provokes critical thinking, problem-solving, mindfulness, and cultural awareness—all while having a blast learning alongside classmates.
Want to make your creative learning experience one-of-a-kind? Team up with Arts Commons Education to design a program that fits your class’s unique needs. Together, you’ll work with visual artists, cultural specialists, and theatre pros—right here at Arts Commons. There are no limits to what you can create!

Here are just a few Wonder Workshop ideas that might stir your curiosity:

Storytelling: From music to dance, drama to comic books, shadow play to puppetry, tell your stories in a million creative ways!
Performance: Unleash your inner actor with drama, masks, clowning, and improv.
Visual Arts: Explore painting, ink printing, mixed media, textiles, photography, and sculpture to make your ideas come to life!
Cultural Connections: Learn from cultural experts and create with them in real-time.
Spoken Word & Poetry: Find your voice through the power of words.
Audio Adventures: Dive into soundscapes and audio lab explorations.
Stage Craft: Design sets, costumes, lighting, and even special effects makeup—just like the pros do!
Virtual or In-Person Fun: Experience it all at Arts Commons or from the comfort of your classroom—your choice!

So, teachers and students—what will you create? The possibilities are endless, and the fun is just getting started!

“This is what makes my teaching relevant. I wished we could spend even more time in this space. It is also inspiring spending time with educators who understand the arts. It is reinvigorating and enriches my own experience as a teacher. Thank you for such an incredible week.”
