Arts Education

Currently, two programs jointly comprise DNACA's Arts Education efforts:

 

Arts in Education

Each year, 9 to 15 qualified local artists go into the Del Norte County Schools to give workshops in a variety of arts media, ranging from acrylic painting and watercolor to dance and contemporary guitar.

Special Arts for the Very, Very Young (SAVVY)

Dubbed SAVVY and made possible by the First 5 Del Norte Children and Families Commission, this program is training and utilizing a group of local and regional artists to give workshops in the preschools throughout the county. Workshops include pinch pots, organic sculpture, music and more.
