Stacie Sanders Evans & Teaching Artist: Arts for Learning Maryland

Stacie Sanders Evans recognizes the power that art has to transform the lives of young people, particularly those not well-served by the traditional education system. Her fun, passionate approach sets the tone at Arts for Learning Maryland (formerly Young Audiences of Maryland), where she is president and CEO. Over the past 18 years, Stacie has built the organization from a small, four-person operation into a staff of more than 40 people, with a network of over 200 artists, that directly serves nearly 180,000 children every year. Stacie will be joined by one of the program’s many teaching artists, who will share a fresh perspective on this life-changing experience.
