DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative Receives Generous Support from the Eugene and Agnes E. Meyer Foundation June 30, 2010 (Washington, DC) - The DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative (DC Collaborative) announced the receipt of a $30,000 grant from the Eugene and Agnes E. Meyer Foundation. The grant will be used to support general operations of the DC Collaborative. Due to this support, thousands of students will experience the richness of the arts and humanities through performances and exhibits offered across the District. "We are very appreciative of this support from the Meyer Foundation which helps ensure that the arts and humanities are part of a high-quality education for DC public and charter school students," said Louise Kennelly, Executive Director of the DC Collaborative. The DC Collaborative offers a variety of arts and humanities initiatives for students including the Arts for Every Student (AFES) program, involving field trips to area arts events. Through AFES, the DC Collaborative offers opportunities for all DC public and chartered public school students to take full advantage of the vast arts and cultural resources available throughout the DC Metropolitan area. The DC Collaborative also provides DC public and chartered public school accredited professional development workshops that align with school curriculum. Teachers learn innovative ways to invigorate their lesson plans using artistic and creative techniques and strategies developed by DC Collaborative members. The DC Collaborative also conducts the Arts Education Initiative (AEI). Through AEI, DC teachers, principals, teaching artists and partners have worked together with the DC Collaborative to test-drive model programs and approaches for arts-integrated curriculum in the DC public and chartered public schools. About the DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative More than forty members strong, the DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative (DC Collaborative) provides equitable access to quality arts and humanities education for all DC public and chartered public schools for the growth of the whole child.
