"The arts in schools are generally limited to an average of a few classes of instruction per week. This time includes setup and cleanup, leaving sometimes a mere 20 minutes for children and teachers to explore the arts," said Maggie O'Brien, Executive Director of the Middletown Arts Center. "The Middletown Arts Center's "Day Off" program, classes and camps are special opportunities for our staff to provide quality, arts enrichment to children who crave creativity beyond their classrooms."
