Art With Schools
School Programs
Through the ongoing support of our community and local school systems, we are able to offer an array of opportunities for students of all ages and stages of learning.
Field Trips
All field trips begin in one of our galleries, with age-appropriate interactions designed to build critical and creative thinking. From there, students may enjoy an extended tour of our campus, an interactive story, or a hands-on art project, depending on the exhibitions on view and the goals of the educator.
Tours are available of current and historical art in our Galleries, at Grassroots, and/or the Center’s public art installations. Please reach out today to schedule your next school visit.
Live Theater
We are proud to provide local students the opportunity to experience the magic of live theater, which has the potential to broaden the students’ understanding of the world around them and connect them to one another.
Thomasville Center for the Arts is excited to present the 2026-2027 performances to our partner school systems:
- Nutcracker: Behind the Scenes performed by South Georgia Ballet
- Of Thee I Sing: American Heritage Through Song performed by Audrey Johnson
- Dancing Drum: Drumming Up World Music performed by Steve Campbell
Visiting Artists

- Performing Arts
- Movement + Dance
- Literary Arts
- Photography

- and a variety of Visual Arts disciplines
Exhibitions
Our organization strives to highlight area school visual art programs and their art teachers by giving schools an opportunity to exhibit their art in a public space while also teaching students about the exhibition process.
Competitions & Scholarships
Throughout the year, Thomasville Center for the Arts strives to showcase student-artists in both the visual and performing arts by providing juried competitions and concerts designed to target a broader audience while also connecting students across school communities. Awards and scholarships are provided to encourage students’ continued training in the arts and to support local school art teachers and their programs.
Public Art in the Community
We enjoy providing opportunities for students to create public art that has the power to kindle wonder, ignite curiosity, and most importantly, to unify communities through conversation and creative thought. Check back for more information about public art opportunities for youth in our area!
