Educational Initiatives
The Hylton Performing Arts Center’s Education Initiative provides meaningful educational programming for students and learners of all ages, fostering a love of learning and the arts outside the classroom.
Veterans and the Arts Initiative
Since 2014, the Veterans and the Arts Initiative has served as an arts and community hub for our local Veterans, Servicemembers, military family members, military caregivers, and community members. The Initiative has brought our community together at the Hylton Performing Arts Center to engage with the arts through performances, workshops, lessons, exhibitions, and special events that have featured the arts, including music, visual art, dance, and poetry.
