Artful Living and Learning is an arts integration program utilizing the arts to creatively teach Ohio Early Learning and Development Standards to preschoolers in and around Stark County, Ohio. Students also learn Ohio Fine Arts Standards as they are exposed to dance, drama, literacy arts, music, and/or visual arts. In 2021-2022 we taught more than 1,900 students weekly in 21 public schools and affiliated preschool sites. 

Our twenty-minute lessons were developed by teaching artists and curriculum professionals throughout the fifteen years of our program's existence. All of our lessons are taught by degreed artists and art educators. 

Our classes run for 25 weeks, from October 3, 2022- April 28, 2023.

MISSION: Our mission is to improve achievement, creativity, and confidence in early learners through arts-immersion.

VISION: Our vision is to transform the lives of children and families through the power of the arts.
