Arts In Education - Coser 403

Curtain Up, Light the Lights!
BOCES helps bring the arts to your students

The 403 Arts-in-Education CoSer helps schools enrich the lives of their students by providing opportunities to experience the performing and visual arts.

Through the 403 CoSer, students in grades K-12 can attend theatrical performances produced by national touring companies right in their own back yards.School districts can take students to productions, musical revues, art exhibits, or cultutral and historical points of interests outside the district. Field trips that incorporate curriculum connections to the arts and cultutral studies can also be arranged through this CoSer.
