Making a difference.

Arts On Main’s Arts In Education (AIE) program has served the Van Buren School District for over 30 years. Our AIE program, sponsored by the Arkansas Arts Council, is designed to strengthen the role of the arts in preK-12 educational settings by fostering participation in the arts as an integral part of life and the basic education process. Through this program, Arts On Main sponsored teaching artists during a 2023-2024 residency in the Van Buren School District and surrounding districts where they worked with a site coordinator and alongside art teachers to develop programs and activities based on the school’s curriculum and student needs.

This is our impact on local kids changing lives one at a time.
