2025-2026 Performing Arts Season
Throughout our 2025/2026 performing arts season, the Center for the Arts at Kayenta invites audiences to embark on a transformative journey—a year dedicated to research, learning, and growth through the performing arts. We are committed to expanding the boundaries of what is possible, both for our artists and our audiences, as we explore uncharted territories of creativity, innovation, and expression.
This season is an opportunity to step beyond familiar landscapes and dive into new experiences. The performances, installations, and workshops we present are crafted to inspire curiosity, challenge perceptions, and open the door to new ways of thinking and feeling. Our program fosters a space where the act of learning is celebrated, where growth is embraced as a continuous process, and where each performance is a chance to discover something new about art, culture, and ourselves.
Check back soon for our complete Spring 2026 program.
