Dear teachers,
The start of the 2017-18 school year coincides with the exciting and historic transformation of the National Arts Centre.
There’s a stunning, new glass atrium that embraces and engages our community, opening up onto the Parliament Buildings and some of our country’s most important landmarks. There is also plenty of fully accessible and animated space to present performing arts education events, as well as a digital studio that can link students all over the country and beyond.
We believe that the performing arts can be powerful and transformative for young people, and it is our hope that the experiences we offer, whether through matinees, workshops or open rehearsals, will inspire young minds and open new worlds.
As Canada’s home for the performing arts, the NAC is committed to supporting educators across Canada. In addition to our many community outreach and arts education projects, we provide free resource materials available through artsalive.ca, our award-winning arts and education web site. We welcome every opportunity to engage with teachers about our concerts, plays and performances for the year ahead.
Thank you for your support. We look forward to welcoming you and your students to the “new” National Arts Centre in 2017-2018.
Yours truly,
Peter Herrndorf President and CEO | National Arts Centre
