Children in rural communities often have fewer opportunities to explore the arts, even though creative experiences can be transformative for their growth, confidence, and learning. At Arts for Learning WNY, we’re committed to changing that - and that’s why we’ve been so excited to partner with the Springville Center for the Arts this Fall on our Arts Integrated Programming Initiative.

Thanks to the generous support of the Conable Family Foundation, The Wyoming Foundation, and other committed donors, Arts for Learning WNY is able to bring high-quality arts programming directly into Wyoming County schools, completely free of charge. Thanks to their support, every student - regardless of where they live or the economic challenges they face - can experience the transformative power of the arts.

Throughout our 63 years, Arts for Learning WNY has been a proud affiliate of the Young Audiences National network. As the leading network of arts in education organizations in the country, we use our shared expertise to advance learning through the arts across 31 regions in the United States. This October, I had the privilege of joining other affiliate Executive Directors from across the country at the National Office in New York City for our annual leadership council meeting

Did you know that Arts for Learning WNY is a prequalified partner with Buffalo Public Schools? We are honored to continue our long-standing collaboration with the largest school district in Western New York, reaching thousands of students each year through innovative, arts-integrated educational experiences. Together, we are helping students learn, create, and grow through the power of the arts.
