Artists in schools

Each year we take selected guest artists off the stage and send them back to school as part of our Artists in Schools program. 2019 will be great fun as members of Cambodia’s Phare Circus, Torres Strait Islander dancer and comic Ghenoa Gela and more work with students from around Darwin.

Artists in schools is proudly supported by The Smith Family and Northern Territory Government Department of Education.
