Communities in an arts education, youth development and community building
strategy that partners community schools of the arts and local public
housing authorities to provide children and youth with high quality arts instruction during non-school hours.
The National guild of Community Schools of the Arts, through a
cooperative agreement with the National Endowment for the Arts and U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development is implementing the initiative
in 20 cities across the country.
The three-year initiative represents a $4.65 million dollar
investment in community arts education and will expand access to arts
education for over 5,000 young people residing in public housing
communities. |
