marketing costs. The Arts-In-Education program has touched tilousands of at-risk
Poughkeepsie and Kingston inner-city youtil. Since tile Arts-In-Education Program was
initiated in 1994, tilousands of at-risk children and teens from Poughkeepsie and
Kingston inner-city schools have experience tile empowering and life-altering residencies
