Everyone here at the ASC is excited about its newest addition, ArtPlay!
Growing a Love of the Arts
Thanks to Jane Stephens Comer's generous donation to UAB's Alys Stephens Center, a brand new arts education initiative called ArtPlay will open its doors to the public in early 2011. This beautiful Victorian house, located in the heart of Southside only blocks away from the Alys Stephens Center, will be home to ASC's expanded education and outreach program. The house is being renovated to provide quality art programming for every generation of aspiring artist, a community venue with an array of programming for creative learning, and a beautiful setting for special events. Arts classes will be available for all ages in dance, music, visual arts, film, and theatre from local arts organizations and individual teachers. Classes will be announced and registration will begin this November.

ArtPlay Believes:
In the creative potential of every human being regardless of age or social background.
*That everyone benefits from being actively engaged and inspired by the arts and having an opportunity to express themselves creatively on the most basic level.
*That an arts learning center should serve as a classroom, laboratory, greenhouse, incubator, and town hall for the entire community.
*Involvement in creative endeavors encourages self-awareness, teaches discipline, and encourages communication between people of all backgrounds.
*The arts are an essential component of the learning and development process in building a comprehensive educational foundation.
