Each year, the semi finalists in performing arts participate in master classes specifically designed for their category. These students are invited to special master classes with leading professionals who offer insight on performance technique, training, and professional life. Whenever possible, all preliminary students are invited to sit in on the master classes to share the benefits of this unique learning experience.

In Visual Arts, each participant is invited to attend special art workshops and museum tours. The culmination of the program is an exhibit of the top students’ works at a leading art gallery or museum.
