21st Century Community Learning Centers Program

An after-school program that provides studio art and art appreciation activities for elementary and middle school students from Gadsden County Schools.

This program is made possible by Gadsden Arts Center partners Tallahassee Community College Foundation, TCC Quincy House, private donors, and the Gadsden County School Board.

The Gadsden Arts Center, Quincy Music Theater, and the Legacy School for the Performing Arts have partnered to bring fine arts and music to every elementary school in Gadsden County. The Gadsden Arts Alliance is working with the Gadsden County Public Schools to help remedy the lack of funding for art and music. Each visit to the schools include live performances for the student body and a two or four week installation of a traveling Dean Mitchell exhibition, accompanied by a range of educational materials for teachers and students.

So far, the Gadsden Arts Alliance have visited George Munroe Elementary School, Havana Elementary School, St. John's Elementary School, Chattahoochee Elementary School, Greensboro Elementary School, and Gadsden Magnet School.
