Arts Council Napa Valley (ACNV) acts as a support and promotional organization for arts and culture in our county. Among our most important programs is providing Arts Education within our schools. Currently, ACNV has teaching programs in 18 schools in Napa County and our combined programs have expanded the lives of over 4,000 children - and counting.
• The arts transform the environment for learning to create better reading skills, higher grades, higher SAT scores, higher probability of attending college, higher attendance in schools and lower juvenile delinquency.
• The arts provide young people with authentic, healthy avenues for expression for their minds, hearts and bodies.
• The arts connect students to themselves, their families, their teachers and each other in ways not otherwise available.
• The arts bring learning experiences crucial to today's workplace: the ability to generate, develop and communicate new ideas.
