Basalt Elementary School students will be treated to a variety of different art-based learning experiences on Wednesdays in March and April at the second annual Art Days, according to a press release.

Students will have the opportunity to visit with different Roaring Fork Valley nonprofits every Wednesday to get a hands-on art experience with the organization. Anderson Ranch Arts Center, The Aspen Center for Environmental Studies, and The Aspen Art Museum are just a few of the nine local organizations coming to BES to provide students with an educational experience outside of the classroom.

“Art Days at Basalt Elementary School brings creativity to life, inspiring students and building confidence through hands-on artistic experiences,” Michaela Idahammar-Ketpura, executive director of Basalt Education Foundation, said in the press release. “Thanks to our incredible partners, we ensure every child has access to the transformative power of the arts — essential for critical thinking, communication, and lifelong learning.”

According to Andrew Travers, the penner manger of Educational Programs at the Resnick Center, one of the partners supporting the event, the program has created a network of arts leaders who are committed to providing students with a source of inspiration and curiosity.

“This collaborative model allows nonprofits to work together toward a common goal and to connect Basalt’s young people to a wide range of creative practices and local resources,” Travers said in the press release.
