By Cristian ArguetaSoto, Fort Worth Report February 8, 2022 Volunteer Sandra Ramirez signed her son, Luis Ramirez, 18, up for the Artes Academy program two years ago — he was once a shy, quiet teen. Now, he's one of the shining students in his high school speech class. "I knew art was good, but I didn't know it could help kids in their personal lives, too," Ramirez said in Spanish. "I would recommend other moms sign their kids up because I never knew it could be this good for them." Ramirez has a daughter who is a part of the educational program. While her son is no longer part of the program, he benefited greatly. The Artes Academy is one of nonprofit organization Artes de la Rosa's educational programs. The nonprofit was founded in 1992 in the North Side neighborhood and is run out of the Rose Marine Theater, 1440 N. Main St. To read the full article, click here.
