For the past 25 years, the SchoolTime series has welcomed nearly 500,000 youth, teachers, and chaperones.
The very first season of SchoolTime started in January of 1996 during the grand opening year of the Aronoff Center for the Arts. While the Covid-19 pandemic has caused us to re-imagine ways of 'doing,' the Cincinnati Arts Association is committed to ensuring our mission to educate, inspire, and serve through quality arts programs.
