Manitou Springs Arts Academy

11/09/2022

The Manitou Springs Arts Academy has closed. Much of our staff was hired by the school district. We began the after school programming of Arts14 which the district has renamed "Connect14". We were deeply committed to providing process based, developmentally appropriate learning in the visual and performing arts.
It is our great hope that the school district will continue to be deeply committed to the arts as a means of supporting young people as they grow.

Thank you to every board member, artist-teacher, MSSD14 staff member and especially the brilliant young people who shared your gifts with us.
