Sarasota Arts Education to partner with the Kennedy Center of Performing Arts

The Sarasota Arts Education will be partnering with the Kennedy Center of Performing Arts to expand art education in elementary and middle school.  Sarasota has become the 6th city to be chosen for the “Any Given Child” free initiative program that pairs local arts organizations and educators with staff members form the john F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.  

Sarasota has long been recognized as the “Arts Capital of Florida” and has beaten 7 other Florida Cities and hundreds of cities through-out the country for this position. 

Carrie Seidman, of the Sarasota Herald Tribune published an article on Thursday, Jun 16, 2011 that explains all the details. 

Carrie quoted Darrell Ayers, the vice-president of the Kennedy’s Center of  education, “We Look at the communities that have the greatest assets and the best potential.  The selection committee was impressed not only with the amount and quality of arts activity in Sarasota, but also with the positive attitude of the school system and broader community toward the importance of arts and art education.”
