Due to the generosity of the Des Lee Fine Arts Education Collaborative, Springboard can offer a limited number of FREE single performances to schools in the Collaborative.

A performance combines the excitement of a live presentation with audience participation for up to 300 students at your school. These 45-minute programs bring educational topics to life and introduce young minds to the artistry and talent of professional performers.

Recipients of these programs will be determined by lottery. To be added to the lottery list, please call Julie Johnson at (314) 289-4127 between 9:00 a.m. on Monday, August 10 and noon on Friday, August 14th.

Selected schools will be contacted by August 28 and will be expected to complete their scheduling process by September 30, 2009 (programs may be scheduled during the fall or spring semester). Programs that have not been scheduled by the deadline will be forfeited by the school and will be given to the next school on the lottery list. Some programs (such as those by out-of-town artists or large ensembles) will not be eligible for selection by lottery winners.

Schools not selected by lottery may be eligible for subsidized programming. For more information on subsidies and to see if your school qualifies, please contact Julie Johnson at (314) 289-4127 or jjohnson@springboardstl.org
