About Center ARTES
Center ARTES was founded at Cal State San Marcos by Dr. Merryl Goldberg in 2003. Her vision was to create an organization dedicated exclusively to arts education in K-12 schools, an organization that could serve as a vehicle for exploring and contributing to the developing field of education in and through the arts. Center ARTES' work is largely carried out by a group of art specialists who are skilled in teaching with and through the arts. They work in partnership with local public school teachers to help them approach all areas of the curriculum in more creative and interactive ways. A primary philosophy underlying Center ARTES' work is that teaching through the arts can be a powerful tool for teachers to help students both further their subject-matter understanding and be introduced to the arts as well.
