Art for Youth Development
monca aims to make art education and creation accessible to community members of all ages and abilities. For kiddos, school field trips are a great way to delve into the arts.
In a study published in the National Library of Medicine about the role of arts in improving health and well-being, researchers found that “childhood engagement in arts activities can predict academic performance across the school years.” Continually encouraging artistic expression and curiosity will positively benefit kids throughout their personal and academic development. Art education is an opportunity to enrich learning in other areas. Think of the arts and creative processes as the glue that binds together ideas and concepts across subjects.
Non-judgement is essential to artistic growth and the solidification of confidence in children. At monca, we provide a safe and accepting place for art makers at all stages of their artistic identity. Given a chance to express in a welcoming environment, children will flourish and connect with each other on a deeper level.
monca is honored to support the next generation of artists and makers through Field Trips, Family-Friendly Community Events, Student Music Recitals, and beyond!
