YOUTH ARTS EXPERIENCES

Five years. Five unique immersions. A lifetime of inspiration.

Imagine! is an arts education initiative created by ArtsBuild in 2010 which provides a systematic introduction to the arts for Hamilton County elementary school students through performances and exhibits presented by several local arts organizations. These arts experiences are designed to enhance learning in the classroom. Teachers have access to educational support materials and curriculum that has been designed according to state education standards and is focused on teaching students about the creative process. Countless studies have shown that arts instruction, as well as integrating the arts into all subjects, strengthens a student’s academic ability.

ArtsBuild offers Imagine! to all Hamilton County School students in grades K-5. Thanks to the support of ArtsBuild donors, we are able to provide Imagine! at no cost to the schools or the students.
