In conjunction with our annual Performing Arts Series, POAC provides an educational outreach program called Ovations. POAC makes an effort to match performers with schools and grades that have corresponding curriculum to make their school-based learning become a real life positive cultural experience with the performers.

Master classes and workshops are also hosted by the performing artists held at schools and the historic Panida Theater. They are chosen specifically to reflect POAC’s interest in cultural diversity and celebration. The participants enhance their own vocal, musical, and/or dance talent. 

This program serves approximately 3,000 students annually, in grades K-12 (public, private and home-schooled) throughout Bonner County.
