Arts Education
At the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge, we believe in the power of the arts to inspire, educate, and transform lives. Our Arts Education and Integration initiatives in Baton Rouge bring creative learning opportunities to schools, community centers, and public spaces, ensuring that every child and community member has access to meaningful artistic experiences.
Through hands-on workshops, artist residencies, and interdisciplinary programs, we weave the arts into everyday learning—enhancing creativity, critical thinking, and cultural appreciation. Whether in classrooms, after-school programs, or collaborative community projects, we are committed to making the arts a vital part of education and community development in Baton Rouge.
Join us in fostering the next generation of artists, thinkers, and leaders through the power of the arts!
