New Leadership Advisory Council Supports Arts in Classrooms

Arkansas Learning Through The Arts board members Amy Thomasen and Martha Smither welcome Tiffany Rogers to the Garland Leadership Advisory Council following the Garland County Leadership Prayer Breakfast.

In recognition that it takes community support to create a learning environment for children, Arkansas Learning Through The Arts (ALTTA) has established a Leadership Advisory Council replete with those interested in advancing the learning experiences for the young people in Garland County. The purpose of the Council is to grow grassroots support in Hot Springs so that programming can be affordable to the schools and have equal access for all children.

Those who have agreed to serve include Susan Aldridge, Carla Mouton, Dorothy Morris, Don Munro, Kerry Lockwood Owen, Tiffany Rogers, Les Warren, and Robert and Mary Zunick.

Arkansas Learning Through The Arts is a non-profit arts education agency that provides innovative programming that inspires students to participate in class and become engaged in learning. The thousands of young students that have been reached by ALTTA primarily reside in Garland and Saline Counties, through in-classroom arts workshops that connect with the curriculum.

Professional teaching artists collaborate with teachers by developing and presenting carefully designed programs that supplement and enrich the student’s learning. Teachers can select programs from over 50 choices that align with their classroom needs.

If you are interested in working with the Leadership Advisory Council or Arkansas Learning Through The Arts, contact Board President Martha Smither at 501-922-2743.
