Our Approach
ArtsReady
Arts For All is strengthening partnerships with community partners to support artist educators entering the community and the staff and space are ready to receive arts programming.
Being ArtsReady means that the people who work with children and youth everyday understand the arts are important, and are ready to provide positive environments where meaningful arts education approaches engage children and youth. Meaningful arts activities provide space to tap into inner worlds, express deep emotions and beliefs, and share these with others, so that we can all learn from one another and grow together as healthy, engaged citizens.
Professional Learning Access (PLA)
PLA Dates are professional learning access opportunities for artists and the community. The PLA Dates series offer workshops, tools and resources to make connections between arts and the healthy, whole development of young people, and engage in arts education and approaches.
