What Is It All About?
  Arts All Around You (AAAY) is for learning about the arts, trying new things and making new friends. AAAY offers children ages 6-9 an opportunity to explore various arts, take inspiring field trips, observe demos and performances and work with professional artists on a mult-arts presentation, as well as visit area parks to cool off and relax.  
  Each week's activities in visual art, dance, music and theatre focus on a particular theme. The week ends with the informal presentation for family and friends, created by the children and their teachers during the week.  
A Typical Week at CSMA's Arts All Around You Program
  The day begins at 9:00AM. Children gather with the coordinators to talk about the day's activities and play an introductory game. Classes in visual art, dance, music and theatre, with activities relating to the weekly theme, take place each morning. CSMA provides a daily snack. Children bring their own bag lunch and CSMA provides a daily snack. Afternoons may include more classes and demo/performances by faculty members or guests.  
  One day per week, the children take a field trip to a local museum, university, art center or park. Two days per week, students go to an area park. Chaperons travel by bus with the children on these trips.  
  On Friday afternoons, the children present an informal performance for family and friends based on the theme of the week.  
  The day's main activities end at 3:00PM. An after care program, with other structured activities and some supervised free time, is available from 3:00-5:00PM each day and is included in the basic fee.
