ArtsNOW Learning

ArtsNOW, the Atlanta-based affiliate of Young Audiences Arts for Learning, is nationally recognized as a leading professional learning organization for resourceful and innovative approaches that engage students, equip educators, and grow school communities for meaningful impact on the future. For over twenty years, ArtsNOW has delivered arts-integrated professional learning that helps educators and administrators make a positive impact on student engagement and teacher effectiveness.

Professional learning sessions on arts integration are fully customized to target goals agreed upon by the local school administration and the ArtsNOW team. ArtsNOW offers customizable solutions to meet the needs of every partner, district, and individual school served. ArtsNOW offers multi-day artist-in-residence experiences with artist consultants and classroom teachers — collaborating, planning, and implementing instructional strategies that connect a specific art form with their content standards. In addition, ArtsNOW provides virtual and online support for professional learning, teacher planning, and more. Other services for students and parents include live virtual lessons facilitated by our consultants, as well as access to online video strategies and at-home arts integration activities.

The annual Foundational Seminar immerses educators in the foundational building blocks of arts integration and targeted follow-up sessions that take implementation to deeper, more rigorous levels. Another signature annual event, the Principals’ Network Conference, enables principals in all stages of arts integration to network with colleagues, learn from other principals and leaders, and hear about opportunities for their schools.

Through its innovative programs and unwavering commitment, ArtsNOW continues to transform classrooms, support educators, and inspire students, one creative lesson at a time.
