Literacy Through the Arts builds students’ reading, writing and verbal expression skills through a multi-arts curriculum in theater, literature, music, visual arts and dance. Through art, K-2 students develop critical and creative thinking and a vocabulary to express ideas, stories and emotions.

Through our Artistic Residency Program, AFA’s professional artists teach music, theater, dance, visual art, poetry and film workshops to under-served children ages 4-19. AFA partners with public schools and community organizations lacking funding for arts programming.  We work with the needs of our partnering organizations to provide arts programs for the length of time, age groups and artistic disciplines they request.
