The Brunswick County and Transition Academy held is first VoArts Gala !
"Last semester both schools included an arts program in their school curriculum for the first time and by all measures, the students' participation and performance far exceeded expectations. Attitudes changes. Grades improved. Attendance went up. The drop-out rate was reduced. And the kids produced some very nice pieces of art."....per Carolyn Bowers, Star News Correspondent.

The Brunswick Arts Council and Brunswick County Schools in partnership to implement the ARTS IN SCHOOLS INITIATIVE (ASI) has recently received a Dropout Prevention Grant from the State of North Carolina totaling $145,500. These funds will be used to implement the ASI program at Brunswick County Academy, the only school in the county meeting the state's eligibility requirements.
ASI is a program designed to integrate arts into schools curriculum and lesson plans as a multifaceted tool to assist teaching and enhance the process of learning. There are a significant number of studies which conclude that an effective arts integrated program will enhance academic performance and abate the dropout rate.
The ASI program has been in the development stage for over
a year and a half. The BAC and BCS agreed to retain the A+1 Schools program, Greensboro, NC, as a key component with hybrid influences from Opening Minds through Arts (OMA), in use very successfully in the Tucson (AZ) Unified School District, a hybrid program in Clovis California and other researched programs.
The program started August 2009. Click to view ASI Presentation
