@timneedles A6: 100%! We love working with our schools and students. One of my favorite comments from a youth in one of our programs, "I love creating, there are no rules." #K12ArtChat

@creativitydept @SchoolArts A6 community art centers can expand upon or go beyond what is often offered in the schools. No restrictions to our programs/curriculum. & offer additional opportunities for students beyond the school day. #K12ArtChat

@Artguy76 @SchoolArts We've found grant opportunities to offset costs & taken our art programs to the school due to transportation issues. #K12ArtChat

@GrundlerArt @creativitydept @SchoolArts A2 Our center hosts annual art shows for all our elementary, middle and high schools. If you don't have local community art center look to your local businesses to hang and share your student's art and host an art walk.#K12ArtChat

@Artwithmrsn A2 We offer studio space to working artists of diverse backgrounds who volunteer for us and assist with programming. Look for community art co-labs or art studios for diversity. @k12ArtChat

@Artwithmrsn A1 Check your community for local associations of museums or a commission for the arts. They offer resources and listings of arts organizations. #K12ArtChat

[Bower Center for the Arts @Bower_Center]

@creativitydept @SchoolArts A2: Good news is many community art centers are flexible and open to collaboration & building programs to align with educator's goals.

@creativitydept @SchoolArts A1 - We engage with people from all walks of life & can offer a variety of programming. #K12ArtChat
