The FSU Cultural Events Series strives to act as an arts ambassador to the tri-state region. The CES Educational Outreach Program accomplishes this goal by connecting the performing arts to the lives of neighbors in the surrounding community and in fostering an enlightened appreciation for the world of performing arts. Through experiential workshops and access to performance, the program promotes an appreciation for the essential value of the arts. We welcome our neighbors to become active participants in our program and regular visitors to our campus.
