The Arts Council’s program Arts Reach to Schools (ARTS) is renowned for bringing local artists into the classroom for experiential learning in the visual and performing arts. Dance, theater and literary arts, music, visual arts and multidisciplinary projects provide broad exposure to the appreciation and self-expression of the arts and their place in the academic and social fabric of education. Assembly programs by touring artists and local performers highlight the year, which also includes “Celebration of the Arts in the Schools,” a showcase of student artwork from around the County.
