Have you always wanted to learn how to dance? Does your child have an interest in drawing? The Cultural Arts Commission has released an Arts Education Directory, which contains art and music-related classes and lessons offered throughout the community. Dance, theater, art, music – studies have shown that arts education impacts everything from overall academic achievement to social and emotional development. Art reduces stress, encourages creative thinking, increases brain plasticity, and can even assist in the aging process. The directory is for both adults and children, and also contains contact information for private music and art instructors. You can pick up your copy at City Hall or access it online here.
ARTS EDUCATION DIRECTORY
If you or your organization offers arts-related classes or lessons, e-mail Arts Education and Musical Arts Commissioner Mariah Gillespie at [email protected] to be included in the directory.
