Rialto Center for the Arts and Perkerson Elementary arts partnership

The Rialto Center for the Arts at Georgia State has served this past year as Perkerson Elementary‘s official arts partner.  The Rialto Center has brought professional jazz musicians to Perkerson to teach the children about America’s indigenous art form, a hip-hop dance company from New York, and regularly sends Georgia State University students for engagement with the students. One of the highlights of this past year was the presentation of Perkerson’s holiday musical on the Rialto lobby stage as part of the First Thursday Downtown ArtWalk in December.
