Welcome

More than just creative expression, the arts develop crucial skills including problem solving, empathy and creativity. They play an essential role in early childhood brain development; improve student engagement, retention and success in school; and promote mental, physical and social well-being for all ages. Scottsdale Arts Learning & Innovation increases the vitality of our community through experiences that result in measurable learning outcomes and enduring understanding by offering a broad scope of programming ranging from matinee performances and museum programs, to hands-on activities, residencies, and arts enrichment workshops.
