Art Teaches |
The InSEA World Congress will present exhbitions highlighting a renaissance in arts education under way in the New York City public schools. In recognition of the essential role the arts play in students' growth and development, as well as in growing the economy of our city, arts education has been reintroduced into every school. New York City students come from virtually every country on earth and speak more than 100 different languages. The arts are common ground for students and their teachers and present significant challenges to the provision of continuous high-quality art education. How these challenges are met will be on view at selected venues around the city.
|
The InSEA World Congress will invite national and regional delegations to prepare exhibitions that reflect their cultural perspective on art education. The aim of the exhibition program is to profile art teaching and the art made by people of all ages from different countries. Various museums, schools, and venues throughout the New York area will host these exhibitions.
