New Orleans, LA – Most people think of art in the classroom as art for art's sake, not as an essential tool employed by schools to achieve academic or personal success. Since the 1960's, however, Young Audiences of Louisiana has grown into an arts education organization that integrates dance, music, visual and theatrical arts into the studies of New Orleans' public school students.
