Three Ways ArtsNOW Makes Every Dollar Count

by | Dec 4, 2024

Three children are gathered around a black table, counting and arranging colorful geometric shapes. The table is covered with yellow, red, blue, and green shapes. Pencils and a container are nearby. Behind them are shelves and a colorful mat on the floor, showcasing their ArtsNOW creativity.

Imagine a classroom where students light up with curiosity and creativity as they learn the Bill of Rights through dance, explore animal life through music, or create abstract art to master geometry. These are examples of arts integration, an innovative educational approach that is our driving force at ArtsNOW.

ArtsNOW provides teachers with professional learning to help them incorporate the arts—visual, dance, theatre, music, and digital—into their academic lessons. As a nationally recognized nonprofit with over 20 years of proven success, we work to transform education through the arts.

Schools often lack access to engaging teaching strategies that help students succeed. ArtsNOW fills this gap, making arts integration accessible to teachers and students where it’s needed most. $0.88 of every dollar goes directly to our mission, maximizing the impact of your donation.
