Community Engagement Programs
Cal Poly Arts brings professional artists direct to schools for K - 12 students in San Luis Obispo and Northern Santa Barbara Counties to experience the arts in the own classrooms.
Cal Poly students benefit from unique opportunities to engage with world-renowned artists and immersive creative experiences through programs such as master classes, guest artist residencies, discounted student tickets, and our annual Student Assistantship Program.
Cal Poly Arts provides free or low-cost access to live performances and community arts programs for low-income and marginalized communities.
