At Des Moines Performing Arts we believe in the transformative power of the arts to inspire learners of all ages. Our education programs are designed to ignite creativity, nurture curiosity, and help individuals see the world—and their role in it—in new and meaningful ways.

Whether it's a child's first encounter with live theater, advanced professional development for educators, or an immersive master class with industry professionals, our programs reach over 70,000 Iowans each year.

These experiences foster more inquisitive students, strengthen schools, and build communities that understand and embrace the arts as a vital force for positive change and growth.
