KNIGHT FOUNDATION ART-INFUSED PROGRAM
The Richland One Arts-Infused Program focuses on developing, enhancing and reinforcing the knowledge and skills required to prepare middle-school students for a meaningful future. This program’s benchmarks include: widening students’ knowledge of city cultural and artistic resources and institutions, enhancing students’ attendance rates, and strengthening students’ engagement in school. It serves Sanders Middle School and Gibbes Middle School and operates Tuesday and Thursday, 4 p.m.-6 p.m. This arts-infused (on-site and off-site) program is funded by a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The four community partners/service providers include: Riverbanks Zoo, Trustus Theater, the Columbia Museum of Art, and EdVenture Children’s Museum.
