🎨✨ At the Arts Academy at Summit, first graders in our SmARTs program are discovering the magic of blending academics with creativity! Through an engaging residency, students explored geometry by constructing geometric sculptures, turning math concepts into tangible works of art. 📐🖌️ In December, their learning took a festive turn as they brought How the Grinch Stole Christmas to life in the classroom with hands-on projects that deepened their reading comprehension and enriched their creativity. 🎄📖 This is what SmARTs is all about—igniting a love for learning while nurturing young minds through the arts. 🌟 Your support makes this possible! Help us continue to inspire and educate through SmARTs by making a donation today. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us bring programs like this to life for students across Stark County. 🖱️ Donate now at ArtsinStark.com/Donate Together, we can spark creativity and a lifelong love for learning. 💙 #SmARTsProgram #ArtsEducation #ArtsinStark #SupportTheArts #DonateToday

✨ A truly one-of-a-kind gift for a one-of-a-kind leader.

This stunning collage features artifacts and historical pieces from each of the major arts organizations in our community—an artistic tribute to the legacy Chris has helped shape.
