The growing challenges caused by reduced revenue in public schools across Oklahoma has resulted in the unfortunate reduction or elimination of several visual and performing arts education programs. While this is harmful to all students, it leaves children and youth in low-income communities with a greater disadvantage because they do not have the resources to participate in these programs elsewhere. Founders and directors of Academia, Oklahoma City Girls Art School, and Bring Back the Music will share why and how they established organizations and programs to meet these challenges and to help fill this void. They will share how they have designed opportunities for students to develop creative thinking skills, enhance self-esteem, and gain life skills that will equip them for college and promising career opportunities.
