About ArtSpace

Artspace is a 21st Century Community Learning Center which provides an interdisciplinary arts experience for children and youth through out the Phoenix area. Created by a partnership between the Herberger College of the Arts, the Arizona Department of Education, the Phoenix Office of Arts & Culture and the Arizona State Library System. Artspace's vision is to establish a new model of educational experience to ensure students are successful in school and can make a positive impact in the community. The purpose of this program is to develop the abilities of students to create, perform and respond to works of art.

ASU ArtSpace programming is transdisciplinary, encompassing multiple fine arts and design disciplines. Two Graduate Student instructors are assigned to each school. While multiple fine arts and design disciplines will be touched upon in ArtSpace, the strengths and disciplinary focus of each school's instructors will be focused upon, making each ASU ArtSpace site unique. In order to add continuity to the transdisciplinary programing, each school will be focused around the theme. JB Sutton's theme is COMMUNICATION.
