For all of you #EmotionScientists out there, we’d love to invite you to study some recent student feedback with us 📊 Since the start of this school year, we’ve been asking the students we serve how they feel about coming aboard. Here are some closeups from our analysis thus far, following the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence’s RULER Approach and coaching we’ve received from Zorana Ivcevic Pringle. We can’t wait to scaffold upon our visits and get back to our school partners soon for more art museum enrichment this year!

What a year it has been! 7,053 students reached. 490 hours of educational programming. 204 hours of educator training. 94 school visits. 18 community pop-ups. And now... As we gear up for a 2025 with even more impact, we’re so close to our year-end goal: raising $15k and bringing another 1,500 kids aboard our art museum bus.

Wondering what principals have to say about our program offerings? Here’s a glimpse… “cARTie is one of those special programs a school can bring to its students and teachers that truly enriches all stakeholders’ experience beyond the traditional teaching and learning in a classroom. Through an amazing artistic integration of all the best things of arts standards, cARTie provides a refreshingly different and brightly valuable lesson for students!” ~Partner Principal [Image Description: Purple text reads “cARTie is one of those special programs a school can bring to its students and teachers that truly enriches all stakeholders’ experience beyond the traditional teaching and learning in a classroom.

We're #hiring a new Education Co-Director in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Apply today or share this post with your network.

This is exactly how we want all of the students we serve to feel 🙌 After spending time getting to know the art and emerging student-artists featured in our 2024-2025 Juried Student Art Exhibition, Emotion in Art, last week, one younger student we served felt so inspired that he shared: “next time cARTie comes, I’m going to have all of my paintings ready” ~Jeremiah. Want to help us embolden more students like Jeremiah? Learn more about open roles and opportunities at www.cARTie.org.

There sure are a lot of emotions in the air… In the spirit of this year’s juried art exhibition focused on emotions in art, students, teachers, and cARTie community members have been sharing how they feel aboard and leaving their mark. Here’s a sneak peek at some feeling shared so far… [Image Description: Colorful messages are overlapped on the back wall inside cARTie’s art museum bus that show feelings of peace, gratitude, happiness, and kindness.] #cARTieInspired #cARTieMatters #emotionsinart

We can’t emphasize how important it is to document students’ thinking and support collaborative explorations enough… Here’s a snapshot from one of our “drawing discussions” in action. Some notable details: ✏️ Practicing proper grip with homemade #cARTieCrayons. 🅰️ Engaging in letter recognition. 😍 Studying different feelings and emotions. 👥 Working and playing side-by-side. ☺️ Getting comfortable exercising critical and creative thinking in an art museum environment. [Image Description: A student holds a homemade crayon and explores different marks on a large, collaborative sheet of paper with notes and drawings of different emotions.] #cARTieInspired #cARTieMatters #earlychildhood #museumeducation
