We employ professional artists-in- residence to teach standards-based curricula which include not only art knowledge and appreciation, but emphasize performance and exhibition as well. We're all about "doing it'!

"Art teaches children to see with a critical eye, create something new, or incorporate old ideas into a new vision. Arts instruction focuses most directly on creative thinking skills - the source of innovation and invention in the world today." - Ann Watts, Executive Director
