Educators, Parents, and Students! We believe the arts build strong communities and remain committed to our education initiatives. In that spirit, we have educational videos, featuring our talented teaching artists, for students looking for a creative outlet at home. Learn more here.

As we all look for new ways to connect in this time of distance, we encourage you to share photos and videos of the ways you continue to engage with the arts while at home, using the hashtag #ArtHappensAtHome. Whatever your chosen artistic medium, we want to spread the healing power of the arts through our community by sharing a little bit of joy on social media newsfeeds.
