Kennedy Center chooses Warren as first Ohio site for arts program

WARREN

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has chosen Warren as the 20th site and first school district in Ohio for Ensuring the Arts for Any Given Child, a program that creates a long-range arts education plan for kindergarten through eighth-graders.

The program will incorporate existing resources of the Warren City Schools, local arts organizations and the

Kennedy Center to create a plan for arts education specific to the city.

By working with other local arts organizations and using existing resources, the program aims to minimize administrative overhead, thus remaining affordable. The Kennedy Center covers the majority of the cost, and also requires sites to contribute $25,000 toward the first four years of the program.
