MISSION:
Our mission is to integrate the arts
into the lives of children in educational and community
settings.
Vision:
Our vision for Connecticut is that
all children realize their potential through the arts;
that the arts are valued for their ability to improve
our schools and communities; that, by participation
in the arts, children come to understand and value themselves,
their neighbors, and the world cultures they share.

Exciting NEW Program for Young Explorers:
Sea Stars, Sea Weed and Crabs! Songs of the Shore and Sea for Young Explorers (Grades K-3)
This 45 minute program combines music and science with interactive songs about life in salt marshes, tide pools and the ocean for young explorers. Each song teaches a lesson about the habitat and habits of animals found along the shore or in the ocean. There may even be some special guests from these environments joining Mike in his presentation. This program is best suited for audiences of 50 children or less. Length: 45 Minutes
