Culinary Arts
Woodlawn Arts Academy’s culinary programs get students in the kitchen to teach them the joy of cooking and baking. Learn the basics while experiencing new and different flavors. Most of our culinary programs are held off-site, with special thanks to our partners at The Kitchen Incubator of Northwest Illinois and Whiteside Area Career Center.

Mark Beaty Performance Center at Woodlawn Arts Academy until the last few weeks of rehearsals, when they move to Sauk Valley Community College’s Jerry Mathis Theatre, thanks to our Sauk Valley Theatre Alliance partnership with SVCC and Centennial Auditorium. Additionally, we offer outreach theatre programs with Dixon Public Schools, as well as Rock Falls Middle School through the 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant with the Sterling-Rock Falls Y.
