Our Artists in Schools program brings theatrical performances appropriate for grades K 12 with most being held at the JE Broyhill Civic Center. Through a partnership with Caldwell County Schools, the events usually include morning and afternoon performances that connect curriculums to enhance students' learning of math, science, English and language arts, history, storytelling, behavior, and more.

Artists in Schools Program

Caldwell JAM (Junior Appalachian Musicians) is a program that offers classes for school students from 8 to 17 years of age. Held after school for approximately one hour a week throughout the school year, students learn old-time music in the traditional Appalachian style of singing and playing by ear. Instrument choices are old-time guitar, fiddle, and mandolin. School-year JAM is held at four locations in Caldwell County. We also offer a Summer JAM program with classes running for 10 weeks at The HUB Station Arts Center in Hudson.

The Caldwell Arts Council Summer JAM Camp is a 10-week summer program where students from 8 to 17 years of age can learn to play their choice of guitar, mandolin, fiddle, or banjo in the old-time tradition of learning to play and sing by ear.
