Arts4Youth programming is sponsored by Arts Foundation Federal Way and 4Culture.
Arts 4 Youth offers a series of fully-produced matinées for K-12 students that align with and support Common Core Standards. We gladly welcome and encourage reservations for K-12 students that attend: public, private, Montessori, or home school settings. Research shows, that arts education strengthens both the intellectual and emotional development of students- reminding us how essential this work is both in and out of the classroom. We understand that it can be difficult to justify a field trip, particularly if it doesn’t feel relevant to your curriculum. This is why we provide additional resources to accompany each play; providing educators opportunities to extend student learning. Ideally, making it easier to have more conversations and lessons about the arts in your classroom and perhaps integrating these lessons with other subject areas!
