Young Audiences / Arts For Learning Virginia

Arts for Learning's mission is to inspire and engage students IN and THROUGH the arts. We connect learning and the arts through culturally-rich, interactive, student-focused performances, workshops, residencies, and virtual learning. Motivated by our belief that the arts are central to a well-rounded education, we provide arts-integrated programs to help pre-K to 12th grade students build academic and social-emotional skills. Our artists—musicians, dancers, and storytellers—use their art forms as teaching tools, helping to reach learners who struggle with traditional methods of teaching. We prioritize our services to under-served students in Title 1 schools; those with intellectual or physical disabilities; and those with parents in the military.
