Our Results
Gateway to the Arts has been a regional leader in arts in education, serving western Pennsylvania for over 50 years. We have been a resource for educators and students, a pioneer in offering in-school performances and artist-in-residency programs that are connected to the curriculum. Recognized by our national peers, we have gained affiliate status from such prestigious organizations as Young Audiences and Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning in the Arts. We have taken inspiration from the Lincoln Center Institute in creating our partnership model of aesthetic education to train local educators on arts integration. And our professional development for teaching artists helps them make stronger connections with students and educators. As an organization, we are constantly adapting to meet the current needs of students and adhere to best practices, while responding to our own and others research on learning and the arts.
That being said, you don't have to take our word for it. Read these testimonials from those who have experienced our work.
