Arts in Education Program

JOURNEY Arts in Education Program was established in 1985 by Chairperson Sandy Chapin, local area educators and in partnership with district administrators. The K-12 program is administered through the Huntington Arts Council’s Arts in Education Department with the help of district liaisons.
