We miss our co-teachers and students! So our artists are releasing videos every Mon-Fri to inspire artful activities and practices while we can't be together!

Check out the #ArtApart series here: https://t.co/56FI8oLeqW and let us know what you want to see next!

"The most lasting impression was seeing the joy in each of the student’s faces... It was evident how proud they were of their mural, and the confidence and excitement they exuded as they talked about their project was infectious." -Robby Moss #20years20stories

Nikki Jackson, one of KID smART's first teaching artists, tells a beautiful story about the beginning of the program and the power of listening, sharing, and exploring together: https://t.co/4XzAeZ1Y6g #20years20stories

[KID smART @KIDsmARTNOLA]

"Openness to collaboration, listening, and doing whatever it took to meet the children on their own ground was built into the program... Instead of children fitting themselves to the adults’ expectations of what KID smART encompassed, we could adjust as the experience unfolded."

[KID smART @KIDsmARTNOLA]

This week's #20years20stories come from Bessie Goggins, who co-planned and co-taught theatre-integrated lessons with KID smART teaching artist Mr. K! Read more: https://t.co/81yAieFAuy

"I clearly remember Jamal that day. He came running up to me right after his group performed... He said 'Ms. Goggins – you know I want to be a firefighter when I grow up, right? When I’m not fighting fires, I want to be a playwright.'" #20years20stories https://t.co/81yAieFAuy
