Individuals can:
Take in the vision.
Art IS education. Every child deserves arts learning, because it is integral to
developing a well-rounded individual.
Take on the strategy.
Become a part of our multiyear plan to reach every child in every St. Louis Public School with arts and
cultural programs.
Take it to the streets.
Come to our meetings and events. Regularly visit the Interchange Web site to discover ways to get involved
in arts and cultural programming in your local school and community.
Parents can:
Get involved in your child's education — join your local parent-teacher organization, and ask for
arts integration in your child's school.
Bring arts and culture into your child's life as often as possible. Check the Interchange Web site
for events and offerings that you can participate in as a family.
Be a role model — show your child that arts and cultural programs are important by taking advantage of them yourself.
Talk to your children about how the arts and culture enrich society and our lives.
Kids can:
Get inspired! Discover your passion and talents by observing and participating in the world around you.
Take advantage of the many cultural opportunities in your school and the community. Ask your parents to help you pursue a hobby.
Have an open mind. Don't be afraid to try a creative activity that you aren't sure you'll like or be good at.
