Arts Education
For over forty years we have been working with schools on creative arts projects that practice professional art techniques, build connections with classroom curriculum, and explore global history and cultural diversity. We publish an annual anthology of student writing from our residency work throughout Minnesota.
Once again, COMPAS is sponsoring a contest -- two lucky schools will win a free cultural performance for their students! Learn more!
