Summer has come and gone, the days are slowly getting shorter, and a new school year has started! Arts For All hopes that everyone is getting off to a great start in the 2018-19 school year! As students, teachers, and school staff are getting settled, AFA is working to get arts programs started.
2018 marks 10 years of back to school and getting to know new groups of students through an arts lense like:
We cannot wait to get Literacy Through the Arts and Artistic Residency Program going in schools as well as other opportunities to expose New York City school students to the arts. Keep an eye out for our residencies in the 2018-19 school at http://www.arts-for-all.org/what-we-do/current-schedule
As we celebrate 10 years, visit arts-for-all.org to catch up on the donors, partners, student work, and programs we have been spotlighting throughout year. Here are two Spotlights from the summer:
July Supporter Spotlight: AFA is grateful the support of Coffee for Less, an Internet coffee shop for homes, offices, & restaurants. Since 2014, Coffee For Less has sold 4 special AFA blends (“Confidence Builder”, “Creative”, “Morning Resilience”, & Self Express-O”), a portion of those proceeds is donated back to AFA! Order your AFA coffee at https://www.coffeeforless.com/collections/arts-for-all
August Program Spotlight: Artistic Residency Program is not just a way to teach the arts, but it is also used as an avenue of exploration. In Fall 2016, teaching artist Sarah Plotkin led an Artistic Residency Program in Drama for third graders at PS163. Over the course of six weeks, she guided students through using their imagination to explore sound, movement, and the environment of various animals.
Thank you once again for your continued support of our mission. Without your help of the years, we would not be able to reach thousands of under-served New York City children with our accessible arts programs.
