Our Vision

Why do young people need art education in their schools? Art helps students see better, learn from their mistakes, envision what's possible, and make critical judgments. Students who participate in arts programs do better in other courses, and an art education provides a well-rounded, engaging learning environment that encourages creative thinking, visual and verbal communication skills, and problem solving.

Bhutan, a kingdom high in the Eastern Himalayas, has a rich tradition in the arts, but many schools lack a formal arts education. Our goal is to develop a pilot program in arts education that will serve as the model for other schools now and in the future.
