Octa Collective – ArtsReach
In 2009, 54% of students in grades 3 and 4 in the Capital Region, reported that they were learning about art at school. This is less than the 62% of BC students in grades 3 and 4 who reported learning about art at school. ArtsReach directly addresses that statistic as it increases exposure to arts-based education with that demographic. (from BC Statistics, cited on p.14 of the 2010 Victoria’s Vital Signs report)
