Art develops critical life skills like work ethic, critical thinking, collaboration and confidence. The Steinbach Arts Council provides free after school arts programs for youth grades 5-12, along with art classes, theatre/dance/music classes, language and culinary classes, and physical wellness programming. South Eastman Rotary members, alongside SAC leadership believe that experiences in the arts build a person’s ability to acknowledge and understand emotional and psychological experiences, building empathy and understanding, and contributing to the overall mental wellness of those who engage in artistic experiences at the Steinbach Arts Council.

Matching funds from Rotary District 5550 will support the Steinbach Arts Council in the difficult to fund area of staff expense, and allow them to compensate and develop the leaders of tomorrow. The relief on the budget in this area will additionally allow their valued administration to invest more time in developing the curriculum as it relates to all areas of arts instruction, which is a strategic priority as they work towards overall program quality and growth.
