Uniondale School District’s Fine Arts curriculum embodies the central belief that appreciation of the arts is a life-long attribute. It is Uniondale’s intent that by teaching various forms of art, scholars will discover culture, history, aesthetics, critiquing and develop real-life connections to art both in and out of school.
The exhibit is open for viewing through February 2024 at www.nysata.org/legislative-exhibit.
