Who We Are I think it's really important that children know that there's a place where they can come -- where they feel safe and they feel welcome. Patricia Hart
Our Story |
Neighborhood Studios was founded in 1978 by Patricia Hart, a musician who identified a need for music education for visually impaired students after she gradually lost her own sight. Ms. Hart pursued local foundations and the University of Bridgeport to provide space and funding for her endeavor and Neighborhood Studios was born.
Neighborhood Studios believes art education enhances cognitive and social development in children, thereby increasing their chances for success in all areas of learning. While some program participants and graduates have pursued careers in the arts, it is not our purpose to produce professional visual artists, dancers, actors or musicians. Our goal is to provide educationally creative experiences in a supportive, structured environment where participants will thrive. |
