Frequently Asked Questions

Is Arts For the Schools a project of the local school district?

No. Arts For the Schools is an independent non-profit organization.

Does AFtS serve the student/child population only?

No. Arts For the Schools reaches an adult audience through its Public Performance Series: onSTAGE. Performing artists are selected for their ability to reach a broad audience. The School Series targets students in grades K-12 in a lecture demonstration format and the Public Series presents a professional performance which targets a general audience.

Does AFtS provide scholarships, grants or special project funds to outside groups or individuals?
