PLACES TO CHECK OUT...
Art Teachers,family & friends of the arts are all invited to visit the Art4 Gallery ,

* Youth Art Month (March) - a great time to creatively promote your art program...let your administration, staff & community "see" and even "hear about" what your students are learning/experiencing. There are so many other opportunities to advocate your art programs throughout the school year. Let us know what you're doing both in and out of the art room to actively promote the visual arts. We can learn from each other and inspire!

Just a thought ~ As art specialists, we need to be working with teachers in other areas and sharing our ideas for integrating the arts. Collaborate, integrate, educate!! :)
Please let us know about any arts events happening in and around the region so we can share the creative news with others!
