 How the Arts affect children: Feed your kids the arts

  • Improve kids' overall academic performance.
     
  • Show that kids actively engaged in arts education are likely to have higher test scores than those with little to no involvement.
     
  • Develop skills needed by the 21st century workforce: critical thinking, creative problem solving, effective communication, teamwork and more.
     
  • Teach kids to be more tolerant and open.
     
  • Allow kids to express themselves creatively and bolster their self-confidence.
     
  • Keep students engaged in school and less likely to drop out.
