The ART of reaching people with music
Many organizations are seeking to bring their sustainability messages to the public through education programs. The Artist Response Team Inc. (ART) has been achieving effective community outreach on environmental issues for years, because we reach adults “the decision makers of today” and children, the “decision makers of tomorrow.”

The Challenge
Today, working professionals are difficult to reach because of the demands of their jobs and families. Their support is critical if environmental sustainability issues are to succeed. A way to gain the attention of this group of people is through their children.
Children, on the other hand, are easy to get the attention of, assuming you:
- Are willing to have some fun;
- Can present educational materials that are leading edge and interesting; and
- Can capture their emotions.
Children love nature, and they love to perform. Music is a sugar-coating for learning.
The Foundation is Music
The foundation of ART’s educational approach is the music programs in schools, where students learn environmental songs that they perform in concerts for family and friends.
