We are thrilled that four of the organizations Metis partnered with to compete for grants from the US Department of Education’s Assistance for Arts Education grants were approved for funding. This opportunity offers each organization the support needed to enrich students’ academic experiences as well as to promote arts education for all students, including disadvantaged students and students who are children with disabilities.
Metis will continue to collaborate with The National Art Education Association, Young Audiences, Patchogue Arts Council, and the Center for Educational Innovation in evaluating the programs’ implementation and outcomes. For more information about Metis’s arts education evaluation work, please reach out to Dr. Susanne Harnett.
