TWIGS Outreach

We offer a number of special programs to give city children opportunities to experience the arts.

Matinee Performances for City Schools

There’s no better way to experience the arts than through a live performance. We offer free matinee performances to elementary and middle school groups from city public schools. For many of our guests, this will be their first experience at a live performance and one that can truly be inspiring. We also send teachers a copy of Artsource, a pre- and post- performance resource guide, in advance of each show to help teachers prepare for the event and and follow up afterward with discussion and activities.

TWIGS on the Road

Arts & Cultural field trips to local and regional institutions for exposure to live theatre, exhibitions and more.

TWIGS in a Box 

Our obligation to meet communities where they are by tailoring workshops that leverage arts education and opportunities beyond Mt. Vernon.

TWIGS Artists Talks & Master Classes 

TWIGS students and families meet with today’s leading arts practitioners, performers and influencers for inspiration and to learn important lessons related to cultivating healthy identities as young artists.

Remediation work will continue through the holiday weekend, and students and staff are expected to return to in-
person learning on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, pending the results of the air quality test.
