On April 7th, Turnaround Arts, a Kennedy Center Education program, brought together over 100 elementary and middle school students from around the country for the 2024 Turnaround Arts Student Showcase! This next generation of artists and leaders performed acts created and rehearsed in their hometowns, culminating in a dynamic variety show filled with singing, dancing, original spoken word, and more.
The 2024 Turnaround Arts Student Showcase is a celebration of the students’ achievements in the Turnaround Arts program, and an opportunity for them to highlight their artistic voices for each other and the nation. For many of the selected students, this experience was marked by many firsts: their first time visiting Washington, D.C., their first time meeting students from other states, and their first time performing in a large theater. It was an exciting and unforgettable experience for all involved!
Turnaround Arts is a national program of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. It was founded in 2011 by the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, a White House advisory committee on cultural issues, under the leadership of former First Lady Michelle Obama. The program is based on the premise that high-quality and integrated arts education can strengthen school transformation efforts, boost academic achievement, and increase student engagement in schools facing some of the toughest educational challenges in the country.
