York College, DreamWrights Center for Community Arts, and York Country Day School have joined forces to make arts education bigger and better.

The plan is to create more programs in visual and performing arts. There's even talk of adding a theater minor at the college. DreamWrights will offer students a chance to get hands-on experience in performance, technical theater, arts management, and community development.Eric Miller, the head of DreamWrights, believes this collaboration will show everyone that York is a great place for the arts. Meanwhile, York Country Day School is excited about creating a smooth path for students to explore the arts from elementary school all the way through college. Doug Key, the head of York Country Day School, thinks this partnership will help students grow as artists and learners. The college, the school, and DreamWrights will also share their spaces and shows, making the arts more accessible to everyone. Thomas Burns, the president of York College, sees this as a way to give students real-world experience while supporting the local arts scene. It's all about making York a more creative and vibrant place to live.
