Annual Report 2015 - 2016
At Arts for Learning, we value the right of every child to have access to the arts and the participatory experiences that unlock minds, expand lives and fulfill creative and intellectual potential.
Create. Connect. Experience. Understand.
“It takes a village to raise a child” has been so widely quoted as to verge on the cliché, but there is no more apt an expression to describe the importance of community relationships on child development. Arts for Learning is fortunate to have wonderful support from donors like you and strong school and community partners that ensure a true “village” approach to providing children with rich and meaningful arts experiences. As we settle into our new location in the old IPS 27 building, Arts for Learning is eager to grow our village by assuming an active role in the neighborhood surrounding Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park. Whether it’s in our own backyard or throughout the state, community is our focus. I invite you to explore a bit of that impact in this annual report. After 55 years as Indiana’s Indiana’s premiere arts ar ts in education organization, we continue to partner with schools, nonprofits, and corporations throughout the state to share ideas and promote creative learning through the arts. Arts for Learning certainly couldn’t have reached this milestone anniversary alone and so we thank you for your encouragement and support. We can continue to work together as a village to ensure that the arts are a part of every ever y child’s child’s life and education. JoEllen Florio Rossebo Rossebo President & CEO Arts for Learning

We support curriculum project-based learning learning strategies to to better enhance critical thinking as well as self-directed learning in order for students to become self-reliant, self-motivated, and life-long learners. This occurs through many channels, such as exploring ebru, or Turkish marbling, to celebrate creativity on International Dot Day; hosting “Pinwheels for Peace,” a community installation focused on world peace and harmony for International Peace Day; and wearing our PJs to school for Family Pajama Day to raise awareness while providing support for art therapy programs at Riley Hospital for Children. I am excited to start planning our new curriculum as well as getting into the dynamics of generating new creative art events. My enthusiasm is evident in the long list of ideas I have already created in anticipation of next year. year. I am especially excited about expanding guest speakers in the classroom and look forward to working on innovative programs with Arts for Learning and their teaching artists’ workshops.
