"Artists in the Schools" has been in existence since 1981, providing workshops and performances by qualified professional local artists. The goal: to be catalysts for kids to discover the magic of the arts and how creating art can lead to self-expression, growth, exploration and gratification. We can’t ignore the facts: arts education strengthens learning skills, builds self-esteem, and often provides the “hook” which keeps children interested in school. Evidence is strong that overall achievement is higher if the arts are regularly a part of education.
The Artists in the Schools Program is supported by a grant from the County Office of Education, matching funds from the schools, and from CCAC fundraising. The Program has earned the statewide “Exemplary” status by the California Arts Council.
