Registration Now Open for CTG's College & Career Fair for the Arts

High school students as well as their parents and guardiansand high school educators are invited to register and attend Center Theatre Group’s 2024 College &Career Fair for the Arts. This free event will be held at The Music Center Annex in Downtown Los Angeles from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 2, 2024. 

The College and Career Fair for the Arts is an annual free event hosted by Center Theatre Group that provides arts-interested high school students, their guardians, and high school educators with information about higher education and careers in the arts. This year, CTG staff is designing the fair with direct input from members of the CTG Student Ambassador program, a seven-month paid leadership program designed to transform passionate Los Angeles County high school students into arts leaders, team players, advocates, and engagement experts. The ambassadors are designing the sessions for high school students at the fair and collaborating on the marketing of the event, including coming up with this year’s slogan, “Your Artistic Adventure Awaits.” The College & Career Fair for the Arts is the culminating event for this year’s student ambassadors.

“I am so excited to see the Student Ambassadors’ work come to life at the College & Career Fair for the Arts,” said Program Manager Meighan La Rocca. “They’ve worked incredibly hard to design an event for their peers that answers the questions they have themselves about higher education and market it in a way that engages other high school students.”

2024 College & Career Fair for the Arts participants will be given access to one-on-one college counseling sessions; will participate in “Talk to an Artist” sessions, in which students can speak directly to Working Theatre artists; be able to attend workshop and panel sessions on subjects such as the college application process, arts career pathways, empowerment and personal advocacy, and professional development; andcan sign up to receive free professional headshots.
