1. Who is ETTA?  

Across this country, arts education is being attacked as a dispensable curriculum in schools. We, at ETTA, believe that the presence of the arts enhances a student’s educational experience while undergirding the core curriculum. It has been documented the arts disciplines when present in/after school instill confidence and leadership qualities. For at-risk youth, art can be life changing and lifesaving. In using artistic mediums, creativity sparks exploration, conversation and freedom which leads to discovering and healing the root pain or problem.

​

2. What does the ETTA program provide?

ETTA’s programs provide a safe and nurturing learning environment in which the student is encouraged to step outside of their comfort zone and explore the world of the arts. Their curiosity will be cultivated with the exposure to learning from professional working artists. Through arts integrated enrichment programs, students will develop a sense of who they are and where they fit in.

 

3. How can I partner with ETTA?

ETTA will also design and implement programs to suit your specific needs! Students will be actively engaged in warmup exercises, motivational artistic games, group dynamics, individual enhancements, SEL (Social Emotional Learning), conflict-resolution games and self-esteem initiatives. ETTA helps youth to stand strong and solid in whatever career field they choose!
