Art-Lit To Go! (grades K-3)

Art-Lit to Go! is an innovative program that supports the development of art and literacy skills for K-3 children. This informal education program utilizes a range of process-focused and product-focused art experiences to teach children a basic understanding of the foundational art elements of line, shape, color, form, and texture through integrated art-literacy activities. In addition, this exciting research-based program is designed to support the National Core Arts Standards and the Common Core English Language Arts Standards. (Available as an in-person program | Six lessons, each lasting approximately 45-60 minutes, can be modified as needed to accommodate scheduling needs.)

Get Up and Dance! (grades K-5)

Looking for a fun, approachable way to incorporate movement into daily life? Get Up and Dance!

The groundwork for healthy habits and exploration of multiple dance styles take place over multiple sessions. 

Get Up and Dance! is designed as a series of learning activities that culminate into a performance experience in which youth collaborate to develop a short dance routine. Adaptations to this program can be made based on time availability.
