Arts education develops awareness and exploration of multiple viewpoints.
Arts integration, dance, drama, and visual art are shown to develop critical thinking skills at all age levels—from early childhood through adulthood. Research with older adults has connected theatrical work with reduced cognitive decline associated with aging (Noice & Noice, 2006).
Arts education is a national priority.
“All of us who care about the arts in this country have to care about arts education, about exposing young people, early and often, to the arts in rich, rigorous, and repeated ways. That is largely why, over the past year, we funded arts education projects in every Congressional district in America” (National Endowment for the Arts, 2011).
Our Mission
