Arts Education
Arts education programs give Georgia students opportunities to express ideas, build creative skills, and engage more deeply with the world around them. Working with teaching artists, educators, and community organizations, Georgia Council for the Arts (GCA) expands access to arts experiences in classrooms and communities across the state as an integral part of a well-rounded education.
