Three new workshops just dropped. Students are sculpting vessels, sketching their communities, and stitching symbols of identity into fabric. These experiences go way beyond art class. Real skills. Real reflection. Real connection.

Start the school year with a fun and meaningful keynote for educators & school staff.🥁 Drum It Out! is an interactive, rhythm-driven motivational keynote presentation that uses storytelling and percussion to spark real connection, empathy, and communication among your staff.

Your educators will walk away with:
• Music-based classroom management tools they can use on day one
• Arts-integrated strategies to boost student engagement across every subject
• Real, practical tools ready to use immediately in their classrooms

Led by award-winning teaching artist Josh Robinson, recipient of the 2021 NJ Governor’s Award for Excellence in Arts Education, this is the start of the year experience your school deserves.
