ARTS IN EDUCATION ROUNDTABLE   ABOUT US

ARTS Can Make a Difference (VIDEO)

The Arts in Education Roundtable is an organization of educators, teaching artists, administrators, arts organizations, cultural organizations and state organizations whose mission is to ensure the quality and broaden the scope of arts in education programs by providing a support network for the region’s providers so that every child in the Capital Region has the opportunity to learn in and through the arts. The Roundtable’s meetings focus on networking, collaboration, and issue-oriented discussions with topics determined by the Roundtable members’ needs. The group also uses an active e-mail listserv for purposes of networking, information dissemination, and discussion of topics.
