Our Story

Dedication and Service

Although ETTA has been fully operational for three calendar years, this mission and vision have been the brainchild of visionary art educator and our founder, Rolanda Brigham. She along with our diverse staff of teaching artist have invaded the arts in education community throughout DFW, bringing dynamic programming which aids in bridging the gaps in the core curriculum.  We have been fortunate to serve the following community partners:
