The grant-funded project will focus on improving inclusion in school and community-based arts that positively impact the mental health and well-being of Wake County’s children and youth who have disabilities.
Arts Access will work with Wake County Public School System teachers, administrators, teaching artists, and community-based cultural organizations to increase both the number and quality of opportunities for children with disabilities to participate in arts education and activities that promote positive development and well-being.
Since 2013, the John Rex Endowment has awarded more than $8.6 million to support positive mental health of children.
