Art is Where It's At

Brooklyn loves kids. And so does Brooklyn. In Red Hook they offer K.I.D.S (The Kentler International Drawing Space ) Art Education Program where it offers various programs to teachers, students, and families to learn to appreciate and create art. Research shows that children exposed to art and art education have a lot of benefits that extend far beyond their formative years. They develop their imagination, cognitive skills, sense of place and time, ability to focus and risk taking skills. So, to all you Brooklynites take your budding artist on over to uncover the Renoir, Dali, and Monet inside. Play Nice!
