A Tea Time Reflection: Arts Education

Join us every month to celebrate a landmark in Sacramento's art history: the Arts Commission's 40th Anniversary. We are pleased to present another video from our interview series, "
A Tea Time Reflection.
" The series highlights the history of the Arts Commission and includes new and familiar faces from the past 40 years. We invite you to listen in on conversations with artists and administrators in the community each month. Laugh, relive memories, and reflect on the wonderful work that's been done on behalf of the arts throughout the Commission's history.
This month's video,
A Tea Time Reflection: Arts Education
, features Gail Dartez (Resident Artist), Sam Tubiolo (Former SMAC Staff/Artist), and Kristy Oshiro (Tsubaki Ensemble) in a conversation about our arts education programs. (Thanks so much to Cole Przbyla and the filming/production team at
