Carmel became Carmel because of the belief that art is critical to a community and education. The Carme Arts Council is here to keep that alive for our children.  

WHY ART

Art is essential for children's mental and educational development, with research showing it enhances cognitive abilities, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Engaging in artistic activities improves fine motor skills, emotional expression, and social interaction, while fostering empathy and emotional resilience. Studies reveal that art integration in education leads to higher academic achievement and critical thinking. Furthermore, art has been shown to reduce anxiety and stress, offering a therapeutic outlet for emotional well-being. Overall, art supports well-rounded development, benefiting both academic performance and mental health.
