These interactive programs are led by professional teaching artists who work alongside educators to align their art forms with curriculum content, developmentally appropriate practices, and academic standards. The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust understands the importance of recess for children. Recess offers students a break from academics and provides time for physical activities, creativity, imaginative play, cooperation and socialization with peers.  Recess activities contribute to the overall health and well-being of children.
