Arts in Education Program
2015-2016
Overview
The San Benito County Arts Council’s Arts in Education Program aims to create
first-rate, diverse and accessible learning opportunities in the arts for all students
in San Benito County. Our primary Arts Ed Program is Artists in the Schools, which
enriches students’ learning experiences by bringing the arts directly into the
schools.
In addition to our AIS Program, we also offer a Pre-K Art Program for children
ages 3-6, an After School Art Program for underserved students in partnership
with the Youth Alliance and a Life Skills Art Program for students with special
needs. This year, we are continuing our Teacher Workshops on “Integrating the
Arts Across the Content Areas.”
We now offer special residencies in multimedia through a partnership with
CMAP.
We are thrilled to partner with three local High Schools on Poetry Out Loud in
2015-2016.
In this catalog, you will find information about our two main Artists in the Schools’
services: Cultural Assemblies and Special Residencies. We invite you to use this
catalog to view the artists and performers we have available for the 2015-16
academic year.
While we have included artists that we have worked with in the past, we are
always looking for new artists, musicians, actors, poets, dancers and groups to
add to our list. If you have a program or artist in mind, which are not currently
listed, please send us a quick email and we will be happy to work with you. We
are your Arts in Education go-to!
By partnering with artists, teachers, administrators, PTOs and other artistic and
educational organizations we are able to leverage the resources we have to
make Arts in Education a reality for local students. Thank you for your support!
For more information or to discuss how the Artists in the Schools Program can be
brought to your school, please contact us at (831)636-2787 or
[email protected].

Cultural Assemblies
Our Cultural Assembly Program is designed to assist schools in obtaining
guest performances for school assemblies. From dance and theater to
music and storytelling, students are exposed to culturally diverse
learning experiences in the performing arts.
Cultural Assemblies are among the most highly requested arts in
education programs since they serve many students at once with
quality arts performances. The Arts Council provides a direct service to
schools by working with the school to identify potential performers,
contracting directly with the artists, coordinating schedules and
logistics and ensuring the success of the assemblies.
In addition, we are able to subsidize the majority of these assemblies
based on grants from our funders. Please contact the Arts Council at
[email protected] or 636-2787 to learn more about bringing a
cultural assembly to your school.

for continued dance training are also awarded to those interested.
Sammy Ramirez (Artistic Director) found his passion as a dancer in his late
teens. In the absence of familial support, he pursued this gift and found
rapid success in dance crews all over the bay area. Eventually he landed
on the “So You Think You Can Dance” stage putting Hollister, CA on the TV
map. Now he is a powerful advocate for youth and the pursuit of their
God-given gifts. He is the owner of Animation Dance Community, a
sought after hip-hop choreographer and dance instructor, a community
volunteer, and a mentor to dozens of young dancers.
Lisa Morales (Program Director for Sammy’s Animation Dance Community) found
her passion for mentoring youth with the placement of her son at age 3. He was tagged
“at-risk” by 5 years old -- his first suspension. She immersed herself in how to help him,
training in attachment parenting and logical behavior modification techniques. She
learned to love him, understanding him even when he defied understanding. And that
is what she brings to every youth that comes into ADC’s Program - an unconditional
acceptance and willingness to help. Now she is a speaker, teacher, and inspirer;
showing kids they can be the change the world needs to see.
