Arts-in-Residencies Grant

Geographic Scope: Millbrook Central School District, NY

Program Overview:
Since 2008, MEF has provided $4,000 annually to each school ($16,000 district-wide). The program was created to ensure that students are exposed to new experiences that will open their minds and spark their creativity, and to get them excited about the world in which they live.

Quote from Joseph M. Calahan, Xerox Corporation (2015):
"Arts education aids students in skills needed in the workplace: flexibility, the ability to solve problems and communicate, the ability to learn new skills, to be creative and innovative, and to strive for excellence."
