This September, our Director of Programs, Allison Rabent, traveled to Denver, CO to attend the annual Arts Education Partnership (AEP) conference. Conference sessions explored innovative, data-driven strategies to strengthen arts integration across all core academic subjects.

Arts for Learning WNY is thrilled to partner with the Buffalo Public School Division of Student Support Services to bring free wellness assemblies to schools across the district. Together, we’re making sure students have access to creative, meaningful programming that supports both their personal growth and their school communities.

RAISE is a multi-state, five-year project designed to meet the urgent needs of young learners by forging a new model of collaboration between Teaching Artists and school support teams. Together, they create in-depth, customized, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive arts-in-education residencies.

Let's explore symmetry in our environment! The Mandalas, Math, and Mindfulness Program is taught by our Master Teaching Artist Kristin Brandt. Through this program, students explore symmetry in their environment. They create art together using found objects and/or nature, as well as learn breathing techniques while making mandalas.
