Local Schools Receive EdVestors Arts Grants

Students attending three local schools will continue to receive arts education by partnering with local music and performing arts programs thanks to a grant from EdVestors.  Snowden International High School at Copley, McKinley Prep in Fenway and Blackstone Elementary in the South End were among 66 Boston Public Schools to receive EdVestors Arts Expansion Grants totaling $455,000. 

Throughout the 2022/2023 each school will work with different music and performing arts programs to expand art opportunities for students.  Snowden International High School will team up with BalletRox for dance while McKinley Prep will partner with the Boston Music Project to add music instruction to the school.  Finally the Blackstone will work with Art Resource Collaborative for Kids (ARCK) to bring quality arts to the school’s curriculum.
