The heart and soul behind this event is our <a href="https://www.chathamartscouncil.org/artists-in-schools/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Artists-in-Schools Initiative</a>. During the 2018-19 school year, we brought artists into all ten traditional public elementary schools in Chatham County. That’s right. All ten! What did that look like, you may ask? A program that made 24 direct curriculum connections, enhancing the lives of nearly 3,000 students. And we have big goals for next year. We’re hoping to expand the AIS initiative to Chatham Charter School, Willow Oak Montessori, and Woods Charter School so that we are reaching every public elementary school in Chatham County. Help us reach our goal by attending this unique event on September 29.
