School & Community Arts

Our School & Community Arts programs are designed for classrooms, community sites, or other groups (afterschool, community, etc.) and can be integrated into remote learning.

Led by professional teaching artists, they foster creativity, artistic expression and self confidence in children and adults. Teaching artists work collaboratively with sites to customize programming for individual and group needs.

Participants with and without disabilities engage in hands-on, interactive arts programming led by experienced teaching artists who have experience working with individuals of varying ability levels.

Programs are available in all artistic disciplines, including visual art, movement, music, drama, and creative writing.
