This year, more than any year before, showed us the power of the arts in building healthy communities by giving us a platform to process and express emotions and connecting us across distances. The Scottsdale Arts Learning & Innovation team worked tirelessly to provide arts-integrated virtual residencies to pre-K through high school classrooms, deliver synchronous and asynchronous teacher workshops, connect teens to artists from around the world in virtual workshops, launch several virtual workshop series for adults, and engage youth across the country through a virtual spring break arts camp. Despite the changes and challenges, Learning & Innovation’s programs still achieved highly impactful results, proving the arts help us through difficult times. Moving engagement to digital platforms such as Zoom, Teams, and Google Classroom was no easy feat, but as a result, we engaged more than 15,000 people in more than 27,000 hours of arts instruction to meet our mission to provide transformative and intentional arts experiences that unlock potential, ignite creativity, and foster empathy. Here are just a few favorite highlights that demonstrated how the arts impacted our community.
