Youth receive special recognition of their artistic talents twice annually in a performance showcase and gallery exhibit. Additionally, other opportunities for youth recognition are provided. For example, in 2006, visual art class youth from the Prodigy Program in Tampa created displays and centerpieces for the Annual Florida African Heritage Writers and Artists Series at TECO Plaza. Also, fifteen Prodigy youth artists had their work displayed at a local gallery along with professional artists. Early in 2007, ten of the youngest Prodigy Latin drummers and percussionists performed for a meeting of the Florida Alliance of Community Development Corporations.

Children Choose

Children have many choices for different artistic tracts. The coordinated curriculum and ample choices allow youth to experience exposure to multiple artistic processes while simultaneously focusing on individual expressions.  The combination of choice within structure sustains their interest in the program as they flow through a variety of artistic ventures.

The Double Impact

Prodigy encourages youth to understand the contribution they, as individuals, can make to their environment, whether social or physical. Youth also learn that their environment is not just something that impacts them, but something they can impact in a positive and constructive manner.
