“Inspiring Arts Education Summit: Featuring Art by Young Artists” Exhibition
The National Arts Club
This event has ended.
Grand Gallery
For one week in May, The National Arts Club will celebrate Young Artists, including Inocente Izucar, students of The Rudolf Steiner School, Marta Valle High School and Broome Street Academy in New York. A highlight of the week will be the screening of the Academy Award-winning film Inocente, an intensely personal and vibrant coming-of-age documentary about a young homeless artist’s fierce determination to never surrender to the bleakness of her surroundings. In addition to each gallery hosting the students’ work, young artists from Broome Street Academy will participate in a mural painting workshop with Inocente Izucar on Wednesday. The week will culminate in a panel focused on the importance of the Arts in Education and Society. With the current emphasis on standardization and high stakes testing, art has lost a place of importance in the school curriculum. The week-long summit will explore creative approaches to teaching and support the utilization of arts in the classroom.
