The Art of Teaching Any Subject: Wharton Center’s Arts Integration Program

Every year Wharton Center equips Michigan K–12 teachers with tools to blend art into any subject so that students gain wider access to meaningful learning in both areas.

Thanks to a longstanding partnership with the Kennedy Center, Wharton Center brings nationally-recognized teaching artists like Garrett Brown to lead each program. Together, they create practical frameworks that give teachers time to connect, confidence to grow, and lasting tools for engaged classrooms. Learn more about Arts Integration.
