MOVING FORWARD WITH THE ARTS

Our 2020 Arts Education Breakfast discussion with Joe Wilson Jr. and PASA students was an emotionally inspiring morning hearing directly from youth about their arts experiences and their perspective on how we can all learn, collaborate and face the challenges of today through the positive power of the Arts.
Our table conversations once again led to new connections between arts education providers and professional practicing artists in our community. These connections are helping to expand Providence youth engagement in the arts. Contact us if you are an artist working in music, dance, theater, fashion, photography, painting, illustration, ceramics or design to find out ways you can help connect more students to the creative arts community.
Thank you to our 2020 Breakfast Partners!
