The Beker Foundation has kindheartedly granted Open Door Arts $10,000 to support the organization’s comprehensive integrated arts educational experiences that promote inclusion, support students’ academics, social/emotional and artistic growth, and deepen engagement through drama, dance, visual arts, music, and media arts. Through the Beker Foundation’s donation, teaching artists support classroom teachers to grow their confidence to incorporate and integrate the arts into their instruction for demonstrated academic and artistic growth in their students, as well as socio-emotional growth in their classrooms including communication, self-expression, and team-building.
