VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS

Students Gain Confidence and Leadership Skills Through Arts

Supported by the Merced County Education Foundation, Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) at MCOE guides students on a journey of self discovery and cultural awareness through creative theater performances and visual art.

MCOE partners with Merced Symphony Association and Merced Multicultural Arts Center, among others, to encourage students to explore music, theater, painting and more. Through these mediums, students develop an appreciation for the arts, its history and cultural significance.

The Merced County Education Foundation also supports outdoor education, college and career readiness and STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) education.
