In this day and age, art programs are being cut from schools at an alarming rate.  Some culturally savvy school administrators are investing in ‘artist in residency’ programs, in order to ensure that their students receive not only a well rounded and balanced education, but the opportunity to explore the creative side of life.  The side of life that often times pulls people through.  Baltimore is one such city, on the whole…a city that was built by people who have survived hard times, for people who continue to do so now in modern times, a city that values history, cultural history and artistic history, the national anthem was written in the harbor, so music-poetry-dance-and all of the arts are not lost in this town.

Walk into any Baltimore classy restaurant or pub, and chances are that there will be live music or theatre on stage.   “Arts Every Day” is an organization that will go into public schools to ensure that art becomes an everyday event in the lives of the children of Baltimore.  They believe that art and cultural awareness is fundamental to intellectual and emotional development.  The artists with “Arts Every Day” form partnerships with the schools and with many of the historical, cultural, artistic and scientific institutions that are located throughout the city of Baltimore.

The program right now, focuses on the middle school years, and takes pride in the fact that all of their artists are highly skilled and well trained.  Since so many programs in the schools have been cut, this is a great way for the children to still receive an integrated and a thorough education.  Art and creativity influences everything, from mathematics to architecture, and from scientific theory to business practices.  This is an organization that is doing quite a service to the not only the children of Baltimore, but to the future history of the thinkers and the people of tomorrow.
