The ARTS IN THE CLASSROOM tradition…
A juggler in the gym… a mime in the
cafeteria… the performing arts shared in the familiarity of each child's
school… is what Arts in the Classroom is all about! For over 30 years,
this unique program of the Springfield Arts Council has enhanced the
cultural education of students in our public, private and parochial
school, often serving as a first introduction to performing arts for many
young people.Arts in the Classroom
expands and enhances the arts education curriculum in schools where budget
constraints have reduced or eliminated performing arts programs. Research
has shown the positive effects of the arts on classroom achievement and in
the development of self-confidence, self-expression, and analytical
abilities, making Arts in the Classroom programs a valuable resource for
teachers and administrators.
For over 30 years, the
Springfield Arts Council’s Arts in the Classroom program has
provided professional performing artists to schools in the greater
Springfield and Clark County area. Visiting artists present more than 100
school performances annually.
Arts in the Classroom is proud to share these opportunities to
make a positive impact on young people in our community through the arts. |
