Art Center Sarasota has teamed up with ALSO Youth to present a unique exhibition of artworks made by ALSO Youth teens during their summer programming. Arts education is crucial to children’s development, shaping their earliest notions of what culture is and developing fundamental skills, such as creativity, cultural awareness, fine motor skills, spatial reasoning, problem solving, decision making, perseverance and collaboration. The arts have enormous power to build community, encourage self expression and help young artists build a sense of identity and self-worth.
