Cultural Education Program

         During the course of each academic year, The Stanly County Arts Council administers a Cultural Education Program in partnership with Stanly County Schools.  This program serves to integrate the arts into the course of study for students in grades preK-12.  The artists/programs are determined by the goals and standards set by the NC Department of Public Instruction regarding arts education.

        Volunteers are recruited to act as “on site” hosts for each program.  The Arts Council has enjoyed a number of committed volunteers over the years that have taken on this responsibility.  Programs for children grades preK-8 have traditionally been held at the Stanly County Agri Civic Center.  The high school programs have been in school programs.
