Why Arts Matter

This past week, we've had some shining examples of High School Arts programs in Broward County making a difference in the lives of the students and the community as well.

Here are some excerpts from the  Essentially Ellington High School Jazz competition at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, which saw the Dillard Center for the Arts take home First Prize.

 

 

And from the world of Theatre, some stand out performances from the 2011 Cappies.
