The artsREACH Society

Research has shown that an involvement in the arts increases a person's capacity to think critically and act independently--skills that are important to an individual's ability to contribute to our community. A quality education in the arts is often expensive and therefore inaccessible to the children who may benefit the most. Through artsREACH, those children who are least likely to have access to an education in the arts are able to benefit from the critical life skills that are learned as part of the artsREACH workshops. Trained artsREACH instructors lead 90-minute drawing, painting and theatre workshops in public elementary schools. Through these workshops, children develop artistic and creative skills in a positive learning environment; improve their self-confidence and self-esteem; develop teamwork, communication, and personal management skills; and gain an appriciation for the arts.
