“What I really love about teaching West African and African diasporic dance is that it connects children – especially children of African descent – to their roots through dance, drumming, and singing. It also helps all students become more confident in themselves and to learn more about other cultures.”

“If the past years have shown us anything, it has shown us how much we enjoy the arts on a day-to-day basis. Whether it is listening to music or watching our favorite movies and television shows, all of these things come from artists. The more that we can support the arts, the more we can give our youth the opportunity to get a jumpstart on their future.” 

“We are proud partners of Arts Horizons in our first year. We love that as a small school, Arts Horizons is able to grow with us and provide the level of flexibility we need. If we need theater, they’ve got it! If we need visual arts or digital arts or dance or music, they’re able to fulfill our needs.”

“It has been an absolute pleasure working with Arts Horizons this summer. The Visual Arts program was phenomenal. I have received incredibly positive feedback about the teaching artist and their work with each class. We hope to have Arts Horizons back for more! Thank you for reaching out and including our school in this amazing experience.” 

“Arts Horizons has provided a creative, interactive, and personalized virtual music program for our students. The artist’s collaboration with each teacher to address classroom themes, student preferences, and student goals was an invaluable part of the process. The pre-recorded videos are both fun and instructional; our students can’t get enough of them!”
