The Creativity Project conference connects the arts and learning success

The evidence is beyond compelling that arts in education improves performance across the curriculum and builds positive behaviours, but still the arts are the first to be cut when education funding gets tight. It’s frustrating and infuriating that the message continues to be ignored. That’s why the children’s activity network Big Fat Smile has organised The Creativity Project at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney for a full day on Wednesday March 13 to energise advocates of the arts in education. The conference for educators, arts and cultural workers, recreational leaders and, in fact, anyone who values a more creative world for children, is the first of its kind.
