The benefits of participation in the arts—both on the individual and community level—contribute to growth and positive change including:

  • Improved attitudes toward arts and school,
  • Formation of behaviors that promote school performance,
  • Reduced dropout rates,
  • Opportunities to develop selfdiscipline and increase self-efficacy,
  • Art as therapy for youth at risk and the elderly,
  • Opportunities to collaborate with others,
  • Promoting a sense of community,
  • Expanded career opportunities for underemployed adults, and
  • Economic self sufficiency. (McCarthy, Ondaatje, Zakaras, & Brooks, 2004)
