What is the Arts Education Resource Library?
Performing arts-based resources for Pre-K – 12 educators, including activities, student handouts, dynamic instructional videos and more!
How the library helps educators
The arts-based content in this expansive resource library is aligned with the National Arts Standards. It is intended to support community-building, spark imagination, and inspire creativity. These art form-based, ready-to-implement print and video materials for educators of Grades Pre-K – 12 are designed to engage educators and students in active arts exploration inspired by productions that have been presented on the New Victory stage and beyond.
Why we created this
With the support of Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Digital Accelerator Program, New Victory Education created a new online Resource Library that opens access to performing arts-based resources and activities for Pre-K – 12 educators across the nation working in any learning space.
Who is this for?
From dynamic print materials to instructional videos, New Victory Education has designed a range of tools to support arts educators and general education teachers by offering techniques and strategies for integrating the arts into their teaching practice.

The New Victory Arts Education Library was developed with the support of Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Digital Accelerator for Arts and Culture. Launched in 2021, the program is designed to help arts organizations stabilize and thrive in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic through strategic improvements to technology infrastructure. The program supports leadership development and infrastructure investment that builds audiences, increases fundraising, drives revenue, delivers programming, and helps develop best practices to share across a network of nonprofit cultural organizations.
Funders for School Tool:
New Victory School Tool Resource Guides are made possible by a generous gift in memory of Fr. John R. Scarangello, OFM, whose lifelong passion for the theater was a powerful influence on all who were fortunate to know and love him.
