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.
