Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center

The arts are a powerful educational tool that uniquely addresses content knowledge, traditional curriculum and emotional intelligence. Whether a performance introduces a young reader to the creation of relatable characters, teaches math and science concepts or helps an uncertain middle schooler realize they are not alone, the arts are transformative. The performing arts entertain, inspire and educate, and provide a broad range of tools for classroom teachers and young learners. Every year the Gallagher Bluedorn serves nearly 40,000 pre-k through 12 Iowa students and we’d like to serve yours. Gallagher Bluedorn’s various educational programs broaden youth’s understanding and participation in the arts among communities throughout Iowa and serves the Center’s mission: to inspire.
