Welcome to the Virginia Arts Festival WorldClass® Education Program. For six weeks each spring, WorldClass® affords tens of thousands of Hampton Roads and Southeastern Virginia students the opportunity to work with and experience first-hand some of the greatest living artists and performers of our generation. Programs in a variety of disciplines include Student Matinees, In-School performances, In-School Workshops and Master Classes.

The Virginia Arts Festival is committed to making the Arts accessible to all students throughout our region. Our programs are extended to every school system and every child, regardless of financial resources or affiliation. Thanks to generous donations from Corporate Sponsors and grant organizations, these programs are provided at a significantly reduced price. Student Matinees are $10 per student, In-School Workshops and Master Classes range from $250-$500, and In-School Performances and special workshops range from $500-$1,500. WorldClass® will work with you in helping to creatively find funding sources and scholarship options that will enable your class to participate in these unique cultural opportunities.
