This service exposes students to different performing arts and integrates the arts within the curriculum. Through BOCES, performances are scheduled at participating schools. Programs are available for students from kindergarten through 12th grade. In cooperation with the Utica Symphony, concert tickets and other educational opportunities are provided to area students. Tickets for other performances also may be funded through this COSER.

Also available through Performing Arts is the Arts in Education Institute, which promotes cooperation between teachers and artists and brings that cooperation into the classroom. This program integrates arts into the classroom and develops student skills of analysis and perception. During the summer, participating teachers attend a two-week institute which includes workshop activities, performances and discussions about integration of the arts and learning. During the school year, teachers bring this knowledge into the classroom and team up with artists to plan units of study around performances and exhibitions. The Institute provides participating districts with an integrated approach to arts education modeled after the Lincoln Center Institute.
