National Arts & Learning Collaborative

Arts & Activities,  Dec, 2007  

To "transform schools by providing students with opportunities to learn in and through the arts" is the mission of the National Arts & Learning Collaborative (NALC). As stated on the nonprofit organization's Web site, "There is a growing realization and acceptance that performance in the arts is not simply expressions of feelings, but cognitive in nature--providing the tools of thought needed to improve understanding across academic subjects as well as the imaginative, creative thinking capacities rapidly becoming societal necessities." The NALC believes "...

education in and through the arts awakens the desire to learn more--the 'craving to comprehend' as the author Herman Hesse describes it. ... We believe the arts can actually help save education." To learn more, visit www.artslearning.org
