Opus Presents: A Community Conversation on Arts & Creativity in Education

The May Opus Presents Panel Discussion is geared for arts and community organizations, educators, funders and individuals interested in understanding the value of arts education to our youth and our greater community.

Opus Presents brings together panels of experts to highlight trends and topics that are important in our work.  By sharing this information, we hope to create awareness of best practices and ensure that we are putting these practices to use where they can generate the greatest impact.

Arts & Creativity in Education: essential to prosperous, healthy communities in the 21st century. A review of national data and policy trends.

Opus Adivsors LLC is working in collaboration with Silicon Valley Creates on a regional report building on the work of the national Arts Education Partnership. 

At this forum for community conversation Opus will share this new report and provide meaningful resources to help arts and cultural organizations understand and utilize the empirical evidence and published research for advocacy, fundraising and expanded programming.  We will also celebrate local programs currently successfully engaged in this work.

National coalitions and movements are forming to connect arts programming and education policy informed by national studies - come be a part of this conversation.

There is no cost to attend this event which will include refreshments.
