RFP PROGRAM DESIGN/CONTENT TEMP About Turnaround Arts Turnaround Arts was founded more than 10 years ago on the belief that by infusing the arts into daily schooling we can bring better days and joyful learning to K-8 students. Launched by the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities, Turnaround Arts has made its home at the nation’s performing arts center - The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts - since 2018.

We’ll also ensure that our focus remains on building teacher leadership, increasing arts education opportunities, and building a community of engaged and supportive partners and families to join the school on this journey.
