Greenwich Art Society hosts Read Elementary from Bridgeport for multisensory enrichment arts program Mingled Arts

The Greenwich Art Society, (a 107 year old, not for profit art school in Greenwich), in an effort to make a cultural contribution to the greater Fairfield County area through outreach programs for under-served groups, is sponsoring an innovative, multi-sensory arts enrichment program called, Mingled Arts. First Graders from Read Elementary in Bridgeport will travel to the Greenwich Arts Society’s studio (299 Greenwich Avenue) on Friday, March 22, 29 & April 5 & 26.

Over 100 first graders will listen to the Jim Clark Jazz trio, do a hands-on art project and talk about history & paintings – all related to the day’s featured artist, Henri Matisse. 

 Program founder, Mary Newcomb, says “This multi-sensory approach fully engages the students and has been shown to improve the student's creativity in their reading, writing, and also advance their socio-emotional development.  Exposure to live music and culture is a real hit with the students.  The arts help introduce us to ourselves and no matter what career path the students take, it’s a fun & creative way to reach inside to discover your our own unique voice and then express it.”
