19th ANNUAL AESTHETIC EDUCATION CONFERENCE RETURNS JUNE 17-25

WHAT: Think 360 Arts, a Colorado-based arts education organization, is now accepting applications for the 19th annual Aesthetic Education Institute of Colorado.

During the Institute, participants will gain hands-on experience in creative writing, music, theatre, dance and visual art through workshops taught by professional artists in Colorado, study aesthetic education with Dr. Bruce Uhrmacher and work with classroom teachers called "bridge-builders" to connect their artistic experiences to classroom learning and Colorado Model Content Standards. Since 1989, the nationally-recognized Aesthetic Institute has trained more than 2,000 educators, helping to reignite their passion for teaching and ensure their students are equipped with 21st century skills such as innovation, collaborating and critical thinking.

WHO: AEIC is open to Pre-K to 12th grade classroom teachers and arts and physical education specialists, school administrators, paraprofessionals and parents from across the state.
