The Bushnell's Ovations gala provides much-needed support for the non-profit's arts-in-education and community impact programming, including PARTNERS® (Partners in Arts and Education Revitalizing Schools), which enables students in classrooms throughout Connecticut to realize their dreams of a brighter future. PARTNERS is based on findings that the arts have a positive, transformative effect on families, teachers, curriculum, communities and, most importantly, the students. In this time, The Bushnell’s work within the education space has been more important than ever. Proceeds from this evening will play a significant role in ensuring that these programs sustain and grow.
