ARTS EDUCATION

Arts Education opportunities are made possible, in part, by a kind donation from the Howard and Audrey Naylor Family Trust.

The mission of the Garrett Lakes Arts Festival is to enrich our community with high quality performing arts and arts education. Education efforts are focused on making experiences available to our K-12 students that enhance their appreciation for and understanding of the performing and visual arts. The goal of these efforts is to help all students reach their full potential.
