The Right Brain Initiative is a program of the Regional Arts Culture Council (RACC) in Portland, Oregon. It is a sustainable partnership that aims to transform learning through the arts for all K-8 students in the Portland metro area. The program provides innovative and equitable arts-integrated education in elementary and middle schools, using various art forms to teach core subjects like reading, math, and science.
Supported by grants, including a recent $45,000 Art Works grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, The Right Brain Initiative offers professional development opportunities to teachers, arts specialists, principals, and teaching artists. By incorporating creative thinking into teaching practices, the program strives to create lasting change within the school system, enabling students to thrive academically, socially, and artistically.
