Why is this work important?
At the heart of Story Tapestries’ programs is the desire to empower people to identify and access their personal strengths and boost their areas of weakness. Twenty percent of our offerings are one-time “spark” programs and performances that serve to inspire and motivate audiences to engage in the arts and to attend other performances or workshops. Eighty percent of our programs are “intensive” in-depth arts experiences that enable collaboration with others and result in participants’ increased confidence in speaking in front of others and presenting their ideas via performance or display.
The importance of Story Tapestries:
- Strengthen communities by helping partners build self-sufficient, sustainable arts-based programs
- Increase access to arts integration programs to high-need communities
- Become a resource for arts integration in education and community development online and in person
Using arts-based methods helps individuals at every ability level to develop a deeper understanding of information by creating tangible, visceral experiences that make new knowledge “stick.” Known as Arts Integration, Story Tapestries employs an approach to teaching that utilizes multiple art forms to increase understanding of a various subject areas. Using this paradigm, Story Tapestries can meet needs in a community that are not always served by conventional programming.
