In part two of this episode, that was recorded in July, Beth and Emily discuss the AIR Institute's 2 1/2-day workshop called AIR Shift.

The Summer Enrichment Program Art Academy - Episode 11

National Arts in Education Week (Sept. 8-14) is coming up and we thought it was a good time to highlight a valuable educational program that the Kentucky Arts Council offered its support to this summer. This unique educational opportunity available to Fayette County Youth, the Summer Enrichment Program at Consolidated Baptist Church, is a four-week program that connects the arts to STEM skills and agriculture in a meaningful way to youth in kindergarten through fifth grade. We talked with program director Demetria Blair, a paraeducator at Jessie Clark Middle School in Lexington; Lanora Long, an art teacher with the summer program and a retired Fayette County Schools art teacher; as well as student participants Alana Young and DeVaughn Elery. Check out this episode and find out more about how this program is making an impact.
