The Center for Arts Education

Yesterday, our team gathered together for our Annual Staff Election Day! Our theme was re-energize, re-align, and re-imagine. Our team engaged in fun team-building activities, connected with our affinity group chairs, and honored our tenured staff. We were left with the closing words from PWC's CEO, Wesner Pierre, "We hear you, we're here with you, and we see you. You matter!"

This Summer, our Teaching Artists participated in an educational and impactful training on Arts and Healing! Throughout this training, we explored trauma-informed practices, provided an overview of trauma, and discussed how it impacts our school communities.

Swipe to hear more from our amazing Program Manager, Sam Leopold, on how participating in the arts helps us express ourselves and its connection with social work. Thank you, Sam, for everything you do for our programs!

We are happy to welcome Curina as one of the newest supporters of our arts education work! Curina aligns with our mission of making art more accessible for all!
