Dr. Thomas Wolf, Gigi Antoni

January 1, 2012

Written by seasoned practitioners Thomas Wolf and Gigi Antoni, the new book More Than the Sum of Its Parts: Collaboration & Sustainability in Arts Education is a primer on how organizations that offer arts education and creative learning programs can initiate, enter into, and support long-lasting partnerships.

Vibrantly illustrated and presented in an easy-to-read format, the new book describes the theory and practice underlying various levels of collaboration—from organizational partnerships to mergers to community-wide systems. It offers inspiring, real-life examples of thriving arts education partnerships from communities of all sizes throughout the US.
