Social and Emotional Learning through the Arts and Nature is an integrated approach to supporting families’ mental health, integrated with art and nature practices.

Our organization will implement an integrated Social and Emotional Learning program at the Bronx River Art Center to support families. Using culturally relevant arts and nature-based activities, we will provide workshops and community events that foster mental wellness and combine artistic expression with nature immersion.
The Social and Emotional Learning through the Arts and Nature is implementable by the Bronx River Art Center because we can provide high quality art programming with teaching artists and instructors trained in Social and Emotional Learning. We are located on The Bronx River and can readily incorporate nature and its benefits to the program.
The Social and Emotional Learning through the Arts and Nature is important to the community's well being. Healthy families make a healthy community.
We are excited to extend our programming to more Bronxites and showcase their efforts in our student shows. The culmination of efforts is a proud student next to their work in our gallery.
