This unique program provides art instruction
to hundreds of students annually by literally
taking the arts to them. Extraordinary artists
from around the country share the arts with
students 7 to 14 years of age. Parents are
welcome to volunteer and attend any class with
their children.
All disciplines are covered including the visual
arts, dance, theatre, and music. Community
collaboration and support has allowed this
program to grow. The 2010 program includes
these popular activities: Arts in the Parks Goes
to Camp, Family Times,
and Musical Petting Zoo.
