The Manatee Arts Education Council is proud to host the smARTen UP Summer Camp in effort to enhance and enrich the learning of our district’s rising 1st-rising 6th grade students. In addition to art and general music, students directly benefit from this program by receiving instruction from certified and highly-qualified arts educators in arts content areas not traditionally offered in the elementary arts curricula, including dance, theatre, band, orchestra, and community partners.
