Woodruff Salutes Georgia Arts in Education Leaders
The Woodruff Arts Center recognizes the power and potential of opening young minds
through the arts. Woodruff’s divisions – Alliance Theatre, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra,
High Museum of Art, and Young Audiences – share a mission to provide arts learning
experiences of the highest quality. This campus-wide commitment makes arts education
uniquely based on performances, exhibitions and school curriculums accessible via one
arts center. Through the Woodruff, the arts bring learning to life for more than a million
students across Georgia and neighboring states each year. Log onto our new website
www.woodruffcenter.org for complete information on hundreds of programs offered for
young people, teachers and families.
The Woodruff Arts Center is pleased to announce Woodruff Salutes Georgia Arts in
Education Leaders – a program to honor teachers, school and arts administrators,
community leaders, and volunteers throughout Georgia who have championed and
demonstrated the ability of the arts to impact positively the lives and learning of young
people in grades Pre-K through 12.
Each month from September through December 2007, Woodruff will recognize a Georgia
arts-in-education leader through a special citation, a $500 contribution to an arts program
of each honoree’s choice, newspaper and radio announcements, a Woodruff Arts Center
campus display, and a culminating reception for all honorees to follow at the Woodruff in
2008. Honorees will be selected by the Woodruff Arts Center Education Committee.
