Did you know our summer camps have been running every summer since 1995? Our programs have attracted a multitude of students over the years, interested in music, art or dance. The addition of Rock N’ Roll and e-media to the Center has moved us into the 21st century – meeting the student where he or she wants to be. We are also pleased to be offering some exciting art camps for kids – from Digital Photography to Super Sculptor, and everything in between. Click on our summer camps link and give it a surf!
As always, welcome to the Wyoming Fine Arts Center, where you can let your creativity soar!

This Friday 5/11 @ 7pm Free Play at the Center

Recommended for age 5 and up.
River Rat and Cat learn that they don’t need to be the same or even like the same things in order to be good friends. Their daily tiffs take back-seat importance in the face of the imminent destruction of their habitat by the over-eager Dale Beaver. This hilarious comedy about friendship and cooperation is by the same playwright who brought us The Garden of Rikki Tikki Tavi.

 Guitar Student at the Center There are various studies showing connection between music instruction and increase test scores. An analysis of the U.S. Department of Education NELS:88 database of over 25,000 students, followed over a ten year period, found that students who were involved in instrumental music scored significantly higher on standardized tests, reading and reading proficiency exams than those students who were not involved in musical instruction; regardless of their socioeconomic background. (- Catterall, Chapleau, Iwanaga. “Involvement in the Arts and Human Development: General Involvement and Intense Involvement in Music and Theatre Arts.” Los Angeles, CA: The Imagination Project at UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, 1999.)
Music lessons at the Center can be started as early as 3 or 4 (Suzuki Violin and Suzuki Piano programs), or even earlier with our Musikgarten program (Musik Kids).
Also, Science Daily published an interesting article about the effect of music lessons on childhood brain development. So this which we all thought to be common sense now has some research behind it. Check out this article from the Science Daily: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/04/110420112058.htm

Did you know that dancing makes you smarter? According to research, dancing is a great way for the adults to keep their mental abilities as they age. Check out this write-up by Richard Powers ( who just lead the sold-out Flying Cloud Vintage Dancers’ 30th year anniversary Ball at the Center). http://socialdance.stanford.edu/syllabi/smarter.htm
