Data shows that study of the arts helps children to develop cognitive skills, which include the abilities to analyze, reflect, make judgments and generate new ideas of their own. The arts also nurture motivation, a higher-level thinking, self-confidence, self-identity, conflict resolution, collaboration, empathy, and social tolerance.

Summer Arts College is a unique opportunity for children ages 6-15 to be a part of an imaginative and fun week long cultural experience held throughout Northeast Tarrant County. Students receive a taste of the performing and visual arts at a reasonable cost. Scholarships are available to students who are financially unable to attend.

During each session, professional artists and teachers give students a chance to participate in different artistic disciplines including visual arts, drama, music, and dance. Our program allows students an opportunity to explore and develop his/her artistic talents and interest. Students are allowed to let their imaginations run wild as they design their own projects and create their own dances or songs. At the end of each session, on Friday afternoon, students perform for parents and family.

Summer Arts College continues to fill a gap for students during their summer vacation. It allows students to spend their summer vacation productively in a fun, creative and educational environment. The six five-day camps allow parents a safe place for their children to go during working hours.
