Greenacres Arts Center is developing cultural arts programs to meet the needs of area school children. Program offerings will follow the highly successful model of the Environment and Agriculture Education Program operated by the Foundation since 1989. The model incorporates hands on experiential learning in a natural setting. Research has shown that student centered learning approaches improve academic achievement. Arts Center programs will engage students in classical music and visual arts. The goal of the Cultural Arts Program is to improve student performance and instill a sense of wonder and appreciation of music and visual arts.
