In addition to presenting a performing arts series,
KPAS provides performing arts educational opportunities for young
children. KPAS provides local students numerous opportunities to
attend master classes and
outreach programs by visiting
professional artists. KPAS also promotes future generations of
performing artists by providing annual scholarships to local
high school seniors who are planning to continue a career in the
performing arts.
The
Kerrville Performing Arts Society will announce
the audition date for the 2009 KPAS Performing
Arts Scholarships in mid-January. At that time,
scholarship packets will be available.
