We are partnering with the Wichita Public Schools for a joint celebration during National Arts in Education week. This special day will feature a show of K-12 student artwork from around the district, student musical performances, and student docents in the galleries.
Additionally, Arts Partners will be joining us to lead artmaking and promote educational resources for educators. Arts Partners works to transform young lives and learning environments as an expert in arts integration, as they work towards their mission that “creative minds build stronger communities”
Come celebrate the hard work of teachers and students, educators and learners!
