It’s amazing what a little art can start - just look around. From the Mackinac Bridge to the Eiffel Tower, every creation represents a delicate balance between art, science and an infusion of creativity. Inspired minds make the impossible possible. BCreative is about encouraging creative thinking and supporting the exploration of the Arts.

Inspiring students is the greatest art of all. When teachers give students the abilityto learn through the Arts, their minds are opened, creativity is encouraged, andinspiration transcends potential.

Research shows that encounters with the Arts in the classroom can enhance critical thinking skills, build confidence, improve standardized test scores, and create well-rounded students and teachers. From mathematics to geography, infusing the Arts into the teaching of any subject can give students a new way to experience success in school.

The Miller Foundation of Battle Creek is excited to sponsor BCreative, serving as a resource for students and teachers to explore and integrate the Arts into education and the community. The goal is to provide essential programs that support creative teaching. That in turn will encourage creative learning and stimulate imaginations. The MillerFoundation believes that an art-enhanced mind creates a more inspired individual.
