On Tuesday, Allied Arts of Greater Chattanooga launched Imagine, an education initiative aiming to expose every Hamilton County public elementary student to the arts through activities presented by local organizations. This week, 3,600 second grade students from 47 elementary schools are participating in the inaugural event—the Chattanooga Ballet's performance of The Nutcracker.
Imagine is an effort to foster regular experiences with the arts for every public school student no matter the school, explains Rodney Van Valkenburg, Director of Communications and Arts Education at Allied Arts. "Imagine will create a new generation of children and their parents who have had consistent art experience," he said.
