Art in the House

Tim Katz, Community Arts Education Director at the Greater Columbus Arts Council, describes Art in the House.

Through GCACs new initiative, Art in the House, GCAC and partners TRANSIT ARTS and the Columbus Federation of Settlements connect local artists, arts and cultural organizations and independent arts education programs into a comprehensive network of accessible opportunities for students in grades kindergarten through 12. Special focus is placed on the needs of children during out-of-school hours, such as afternoons, evenings, weekends and during the summer. Art in the House: GCAC-led programming within several of the Columbus Federation of Settlements facilities as well as other neighborhood partner sites. Scheduled arts activities at Settlement Houses and other locations are free and open to the public. Modeled in part after GCACs award-winning Children of the Future program, children 5- to 12-year-olds can begin their connection to creative thinking, leadership and lifelong learning through the arts.
