‘Artists in the Schools’ initiative is back!
Suffolk Center offers enriching arts programs to area Schools, both public and private. The Center’s ‘Artists in the Schools’ initiative is back – in a BIG way!
ARTISTS in the SCHOOLS
The theme for our 2024-25 Artists in the Schools Program is “American Art in the 1900’s”.
Our popular Outreach Program, launched last year, continues to focus on inclusion and diversity within our local communities. Building upon the application of awareness months in our previous program, this year, we will focus on different calendar themes that will help provide appreciation for aspects of our society that deserve attention.
September – Norman Rockwell (Americana Month)
October -Georgia O’Keefe
November – Oscar Howe (Native American Heritage Month)
February – Jacob Lawrence (Black History Month)
March – Alma Thomas (Women’s History Month)
April – Andy Warhol (Earth Month)
May – Ruth Asawa (Asian and Pacific American Heritage Month)
SCCA will also offer Dance & Movement lessons:
September, 2024 – Rock & Roll (Americana Month)
February, 2025 – Traditional African (Black History Month)
March, 2025 – Middle Eastern Dabke Dance (Women’s History Month)
