Why it matters

Well, the arts are slowly being removed from public educational curriculum, which means that fewer kids have the chance to develop creatively. Nothing against multiplication tables and grammar, but we think children need and deserve a well-rounded education. Plus, our kids aren’t just learning art. They’re learning to lead, to organize, to believe in themselves and each other. So this program actually matters a whole lot. It matters even more to the kids who participate because most wouldn't have access to art programs otherwise.
