Kid Fun in Grown-Up Museums

Art museums are smart. They know that in terms of creativity and imagination, kids have a lot in common with the artists featured on their walls. To acclimate kids to new ways of looking and discussing what they see, grown-up museums are tailoring programs to young people and their families. It's a great way to groom future museum-goers and artists. 

Hip-Hop Theater Festival

Visit Web Site

Founded in 2000, the Hip-Hop Theater Festival works to invigorate the fields of theater and hip-hop by nurturing the creation of innovative work within the hip-hop aesthetic; presenting and touring American and international artists whose work addresses the issues relevant to the hip-hop generation; and serving young, urban communities through outreach and education that celebrates contemporary language and culture.

The Hip-Hop Theater Festival presents live events created by artists working in a variety of theatrical forms, including theater, dance, spoken word and live music sampling. Through open submissions the Hip-Hop Theater Festival introduces to the public new artistic creations from a diversity of cultures and points of view.

An ongoing goal of HHTF is to encourage the recognition of hip-hop theater as a genre, by developing new work and helping HHTF artists build coalitions, collaborations and networks with other artists and institutions around the United States and the world.

HHTF also strives to bring new, younger audiences to the theater in large numbers, in an effort to ensure the future of live performance.
