Run For The Arts empowers public schools with the resources to bring arts into education. This dynamic program offers a vehicle to raise money and access to creative educational arts programming. Bringing together students, parents, teachers, volunteers, and local businesses, the Run connects an entire community to an educational priority. Over the last 20 years, the Run has grown considerably in scope and success.
Any school can participate.
Students, faculty and even parents participate in collecting sponsor pledges and donations. Young Audiences provides the organization and promotion, the kids provide the enthusiasm and leg power, and everyone comes out ahead. This project can be a success in any neighborhood, no matter the economic situation. The Run happens each school year in the Spring. You can reference the Spring 2002 Run For The Arts Timeline as a guide for planning the project at your school.
