Academy Named An NEA Grant Partner

We are proud to announce that we are partnering with the newly formed Mason Arts Research Center (MasonARC) to participate in a National Endowment for the Arts grant funded project researching how arts participation affects child development. The center’s focus will be on theater, dance, music and the visual arts.

MasonARC is co-directed by Thalia Goldstein, Assistant Professor of Applied Developmental Psychology; Adam Winsler, Professor of Applied Developmental Psychology; and Kim Sheridan, Associate Professor of Educational Psychology. The Mason Community Arts Academy’s many arts-based programs will provide the perfect setting for this kind of research.
