Illuminate the Arts: |
IAP seeks to enrich the lives of children of all ages by offering, state of the art, workshops in the visual, performing and literary arts. The project's overall objective is to introduce the disciplines of theater, poetry, dance and the visual arts to young people, giving them the basic concepts and fundamentals of elocution, movement, written expression and the studio arts. The arts become the tool which unbinds and illuminates the path to each child's unique voice. Click Here for info on Summer Break Camp |
