Shaping the Future Leaders through Creativity

Arts education is not optional—it’s essential. It equips young people with the creativity, confidence, and critical thinking skills they need to thrive. It empowers teachers to cultivate curiosity in the classroom, gives parents a way to nurture their child’s self-expression, and strengthens communities by fostering collaboration and cultural understanding. Beyond creativity, arts education builds the leaders of tomorrow. Through the arts, young people develop essential leadership skills—problem-solving, teamwork, adaptability, and the confidence to think outside the box. 

21,000 students, 900 classes, 450 families, 175 Free arts-based activities, and 20 hours of Teaching Artist development...and that's just scratching the surface!

 

Arts ReimaginED, brings together teachers, parents and caregivers, and teaching artists to bring arts education back into the lives of children and youth. Arts education provides foundational learning building blocks that develop core competencies in the next generation of successful adults. Learn more about the importance of arts education in Calgary from our Arts Education Benchmark Survey.
