PanoplyArts Education
Learning about (and through) the arts gives children and adults of all ages more than mere knowledge—it helps them understand themselves and the world around them in a way nothing else can. While substantial progress has been made in incorporating the arts into our schools, there is still much to be done. The Arts Council can connect you to the resources available for arts education throughout our community. Also visit the “Arts Calendar” section of The Arts Council's website to see what extracurricular classes and camps are available for children and adults! Read More
