Collaboration & Sustainability in Arts Ed

July 21, 2013

Research: Thomas Wolf & Gigi Antoni

We know arts education programs exist within school and beyond school. In many places – in and out of schools – people are considering new approaches for opportunities to learn in the arts. There are many factors that influence the reason for this and how it is carried forward. Thomas Wolf and Gigi Antoni, two well respected individuals teamed up and put together a report call More Than the Sum of its Parts: Collaboration & Sustainability in Arts Education. Arts educators have always been good at collaborating, and forming partnerships. Now, more than ever this is necessary. And, doing it in an intentional manner can have a longer lasting impact and hopefully a deeper one.

The report is almost 100 pages and was created by The National Guild for Community Arts Education, Big Thought and WolfBrown It makes for a good summer read as you search for inspiration and a spark to impact your teaching come September. Let us know what you think by making a comment below.
