Ken’s Kids

Building Confiidence. Creating Artists. Inspiring Futures.

The mission of the Campanile Center for the Arts is to develop, promote, and support the arts through education, performance, and exhibition. In support of that mission, we launched Ken’s Kids at the Campanile in 2018—an arts education initiative designed specifically for middle school students and the only program of its kind in the Lakeland area. The response has been overwhelming, with daytime performances drawing up to 450 students from six area school districts, as well as homeschool families. Ken’s Kids ensures that young people across our region have access to meaningful arts experiences at a critical stage in their development.
