WELCOME! - This blog is just the beginning...

"The Lifelong Arts Center" is the name of a new cultural arts school that will be opening soon in the west Broward area, serving all of South Florida.

THE PHILOSOPHY:
To enrich lives though rigorous and stimulating activities for the mind, body, and spirit.

THE VISION:
This school will be a meeting place for all teachers and practitioners of the arts; physical and aesthetic.

CORE PROGRAMS:
Japanese Aikido, Zen Meditation, Japanese Shodo (painting.)

ADDITIONAL FUTURE PROGRAMS:
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Japanese taiko drumming, Japanese sword arts (kendo, iaido,) western painting and drawing, private music instruction, dance, and more!

CALLING ALL TEACHERS!
The purpose of this blog is to excite all teachers in South Florida and to develop the strategy for building this school. It is my conjecture that there are many teachers out there who are highly qualified and passionate about their arts, but alas they have no classroom or studio space in which to work. Many great teachers have also given up on their teaching because they were not able to meet the financial and time commitments of running a school dedicated to just one art. The Lifelong Arts Center pools all of this great talent into one space and provides the business infrastructure so that teachers can do what they do best: teach.

LIFELONG ARTS: THE ANSWER FOR TEACHERS!
The formula is to create a clean, comfortable, conveniently located, multipurpose learning space. The building will be sectioned off into at least 2 large spaces for physical arts, and numerous smaller classrooms or studio spaces for aesthetic arts. Teachers will be able to lease time slots in the space according to their needs. Teachers participating in the Lifelong Arts Center will have access to centralized billing systems for their students. They will be featured in all marketing and advertising tools via the center's website and other advertising. Access to all the schools hardware; tables, chairs, electronic equipment, presentation equipment etc. is included. And most importantly you will have the support of a professional teaching community and staff who will represent you in the most positive light to your students.

LIFELONG ARTS: THE ANSWER FOR STUDENTS!
Students in the Lifelong Arts Center will be able to access a wide variety of stimulating programs all under one roof. They may join one or many programs and will pay only one vendor.
For the physical arts this school will be a different experience then the sweaty, dirty gyms which are so common in the market place. For the aesthetic side, you will enjoy an inviting and encouraging environment where your artistic muscles will grow. All students will be encouraged to face both sides of their being, the physical and the aesthetic or creative. This is essential for fully inspired personal growth.
