Our Programs

Arts to Grow launched its first three programs in September 2005. Last fall, we worked with six partner schools and community organizations offering 12 classes - a 300% increase since our programs began in September 2005.

Success of Launch Programs

Our first year of programs received wonderful feedback from kids, parents, and after school partners. We've found an enthusiastic appreciation for what an arts program can bring to young people. As one parent said: "My daughter was really excited by the class; she talked frequently about drawing and the use of color. She has become more confident and communicates with us in greater detail." All our existing partners are enthusiastic to continue programs with Arts to Grow.
