"When we hear the word art, some of our minds jump to museums or framed paintings. But really, art is for anyone who wants to experience it, and it's often in more places than we might realise."

"Children are naturally curious. From the minute they gain control of their limbs, they work to put themselves out into the world to see how it all works. Art is a natural activity to support this free play in children. The freedom to manipulate different materials in an organic and unstructured way allows for exploration and experimentation."

"Art allows youth to practice a wide range of skills that are useful not only for life, but also for learning."
