Arts in Education
DCCA strives to expand horizons and inspire
creativity in young hearts and minds through Arts In
Education. Professional performing artists are
presented annually to every grade of each Greenville City
and Darke County public school at no cost to the students.
Artists are generally in residence for a week.
Volunteer escorts take them to each school for a one-hour
performance, visiting two schools each day. Programs
are selected and planned in cooperation with local school
administrators. Funding for this program is provided
by local schools, the Ohio Arts Council, DCCA memberships,
as well as local foundation and corporate support.
