Based on your specific need areas, we create a sequential arts program that can be Pre-K-12 or more limited, depending on your school structure and your needs, that incorporaties 21st century skills and produces students who are arts literate.

Specifically, we can:

• Design, institute, and evaluate arts curricula in cooperation with ac

ademic department heads and arts faculty. This includes evaluating current arts curriculum and staff. • Develop, as indicated by evaluation results, new or revised curricula and syllabi.

• Integrate interdisciplinary aspects of the arts.

• Develop academic programs in fine & performing arts.

• Create specialized niche arts programs that fit a school’s mission such as an Arts Concentration Program.

• Establish arts budgets as well as day-to-day operational manuals for your school.

• Develop an arts department handbook, with clear procedures.

• Create strategic arts marketing for all school constituencies: prospective students and parents, alumni, and the extended community.

• Establish effective communications with all constituencies as noted above, in the context of the institution’s mission.

• Develop and create an Arts Advisory Board to help support and enrich the arts at school.

• Develop an art gallery – with guidelines on how to run and maintain an art gallery.

• Create educational materials that support art exhibitions, the installation calendar.

• Develop promotional art materials and catalogues.

If your aspirations and our analysis indicate that an arts center is a wise addition to your campus, we will assemble and manage a creative team, supporting innovation in all arts disciplines, promoting professional alliances, and helping identify financial resources and external sources of funding, with the goal of presenting yearly schedules of performances and exhibitions.

An arts center benefits students – as artists, performers, creators and the audience.

Whether in a newly constructed building,an adaptation of an existing structure, or even in shared quarters, an arts center can enhance school spirit!

It also connects alumni, parents and the surrounding communities with your school.
