Treasure Arts

Our mission is to empower youths ages four to eighteen through the power of the love of reading and artistic expression. Education in the arts is a vital part of the development of each child. Studies have
shown that Arts Education, education in the music, dance, theatre, and the visual arts, is a key component in improving learning throughout all academic areas. The Arts cannot be learned effectively through occasional or random exposure any more than math or science can. They nourish our senses, attention, understanding, emotions, and physicality. They are the driving forces behind all other learning. (Jensen, 2001). Students who participate in the arts generally do better in academics. The Fine Arts also provide students with benefits such as promoting self-esteem, motivation, aesthetic awareness, cultural exposure, creativity, improved emotional expression, as well as, social harmony and appreciation of diversity. Students who participate in the arts work and play well with others. We believe that the practice of working in a group, cooperating with fellow artists, sharing a stage and collaborating with others to solve problems will contribute to the reduction of negatives in life. Anger and violence and bullying will all be reduced. We want to give young people the opportunity to participate in the Fine Arts regardless of their economic position. We want all children to have the advantage of expressing themselves through the arts.
