Arts, Education, Entertainment
The
North Central Arkansas Foundation for the Arts and Education, located
in Fairfield Bay, Arkansas, works to achieve its mission through
professional development programs, advocacy projects and collaborative initiatives
among artists, arts organizations and educators.We engage teachers, administrators, artists, cultural organizations and parents in strengthening quality arts education throughout a region that is known for its cultural and educational richness.
Learning
and participation in music, dance, theater, and the visual arts are
profitable to the development of our children and our communities.
Through advocacy, partnerships, and professional development, North Central Arkansas Foundation for the Arts and Education strives to provide and secure more resources and support for arts education.
The
North Central Arkansas Foundation for the Arts and Education recognizes
the importance of arts learning both within schools (in non-arts
and arts classrooms) and beyond school walls in the community (art
centers and museums).Some NCAFAE participants have a particular interest in educational partnerships
among schools and arts institutions.
Within these contexts, core learning in the programs address arts-related
issues in educational practices.
Beyond
that, NCAFAE participants expand their interests around the arts
in education.Art forms in which NCAFAE participants express interest include visual art, writing, drama, dance, and music.
