arts education

Oly Arts’ consistent presence in this community shows that there will always be a story to share, none of which would be possible without the important contribution of arts education in our public schools. Arts education has always been a target for budget cuts, often resulting in limited opportunities for students in schools. Oly Arts invited arts educators from North Thurston, Olympia, and Tumwater school districts to comment on the impact of the arts in students’ lives and describe the importance of the arts in our society.
