During 2012 National Arts in Education Week, chattarts.com will begin uploading submitted profiles for the Unexpected Door Project, which aims to foster ongoing conversations with key players from Chattanooga’s arts and education community that begin by asking how the arts have opened an unexpected door. We all have stories to share about the impact the arts have played in our lives, but sometimes they get lost in the daily grind. Through Chattarts.com, the Unexpected Door project provides an opportunity to convene like-minded individuals who are passionate about arts education and want a different way to connect and brainstorm ideas. During the 2013 National Arts in Education Week celebration, chattarts.com will host a convening that recognizes and honors all participants in the Unexpected Door project.
