Arts Education Town Hall – Saint John

One and All – Parents, educators, artists, students, and all interested community members: Join us October 22nd from 6PM-8PM for a dynamic presentation on arts education!

How does Arts Education matter? Here is what you told us, and what we are doing about it.

The Arts Education town halls are part of a review of Anglophone arts education being led by ArtsLink NB as an important element in the realization of the province’s Cultural Policy. Participants will hear our report on the state of arts education in New Brunswick and the impact it has on their children, their students, or themselves. Following this, our recommendations for the improvement and future of arts education in our province.

Everyone with an interest in how arts education can support the development of New Brunswick’s students and contribute long-term to the economic and social prosperity of the province is encouraged to attend.

The town halls will be held from 6-8 p.m. on:

– Monday October 22nd at the Saint John Theatre Company in Saint John
– Tuesday October 23rd at The Ville in Fredericton
– Wednesday October 24th in the Aberdeen Cultural Centre in Moncton
– Thursday October 25th at the Anglophone School District North Office in Miramichi

ArtsLink NB is the province’s primary overall voice for Anglophone artists and the arts and a leading voice on the benefits of arts to society. It believes that New Brunswick’s sustainable future relies on an up-to-date and responsive curriculum in all areas of K-12 education in order to nurture and develop citizens who are prepared for life’s challenges by being literate, adaptable, and self-confident, and by valuing diversity. Arts education has a key role to play in this development through learning in the arts (courses in making art of all kinds), learning about the arts (courses in visual and performing arts history and criticism) and learning through the arts (innovative uses of the arts to facilitate learning in other areas.)
