Our role in our community continues to be more important than ever before because of the shifting of the arts in the public schools, demographics, and economic growth in our state. The growth in population in the Bismarck metropolitan area [over 73,000] includes families from ten different countries. In 2011, the need for our programming increased when the funding for elementary visual arts was eliminated at the public schools. With more than 80,000+ registrations in our 28th year history, Theo maintains an active programming schedule throughout the year.  Theo Art School is proven that through ART, students of all ages from diverse cultural, economic, and ethnic backgrounds develop self-esteem, artistic imagination and self-expression and also communicate and foster understanding of both the differences and similarities among cultures. Our convenient location at the Frances Leach High Prairie Arts and Science Complex makes it possible for everyone to experience hands-on ART! Our classes are for all life styles, budgets, and abilities. The Art for All-Share the Love of Art program consists of three areas where Art is fundamental;   SHARE, INSPIRE, CREATE!
