BASF supports Arts in
Education
Darke County Center for the Arts...
BASF has recently donated funds to sponsor Darke County Center for the
Arts’ 2011-2012 Arts in Education program. “BASF has been a great
supporter of DCCA for many years; their commitment to enhance the
quality of life in our community through the arts is very much
appreciated,” stated Executive Director Julie Strait. BASF is the
world’s leading chemical company. The Greenville, Ohio plant
produces coatings for the automotive industry as well as resins for
undercoating on vehicles.
Darke County Center for the Arts presents performing artists to
students at all grade levels in Darke County and Greenville City
Schools during the school year through the Arts In Education
program. Lyle Cogen visited students in grades 4 through 6 the
week of September 12 with her program Sticks and Stones, a message on
recognizing and dealing with bullying in schools. Kuniko Yamamoto
artfully shared the culture, Masks, Mime, and Music of Japan with
students in grades K-3 the week of September 26. Robert Post will
educate, entertain, and inspire creativity with his program Post Comedy
Theatre for High School students the week of October 17th, as well as
Junior High school students on December 7 & 8.
During the past season Darke County Center for the Arts served over
11,000 youth and adults through various activities. Sponsorships
for Arts In Education and other DCCA programs are still
available. For more information contact Julie Strait at
