Flynn Center for the Performing Arts (FCPA)

the Flynn curates and hosts a full season of multidisciplinary work - the burlington discover jazz festival; exhibitions featuring Vermont artists, student matinee programming; in-school workshops and Arts integration training for teachers and residencies providing creation time and space for artists. We are deeply committed to making the Arts accessible and inclusive throughout our Vermont communities. the Flynn seeks to engage, challenge, and reimagine what Performing Arts can look like in our community and continually pushes beyond the bounds of our physical spaces, taking performances into parks, outdoor marketplaces, schools, and farms. We invest in free shows and art in public spaces and seek to include a diverse range of voices throughout our programming. (continued on schedule o)guest curators bring new perspectives to festivals and performance series, and partnerships with schools, nonprofits, and other Arts organizations are further expanding our community.

the Flynn opens its campus and partners with other Arts organizations off campus to provide lessons, kids' camps, and workshops. Ages 0 to 100 are served by our educational and community initiatives. While our youngest participants enjoy music together courses, the monthly free flynnzone kids' hour, and family shows, some of our oldest participants connect with one another and engage in therapeutic movement through our cherished movement for parkinson's class, both in-person and online. People of all ages can enjoy classes such as tap, comedic storytelling, and creative writing, and children and teens can find opportunities to immerse themselves in a creative camp or class led by skilled teaching artists.
