Art Educator

Laura Voth

I believe that art transforms lives. Working in the Tulsa community as an artist, art educator, and formerly the Community Programs Coordinator at the Philbrook Museum of Art, I have personally witnessed how art brings people together and creates healthy and constructive relationships between organizations, community groups, and individuals. I firmly believe that art heals and empowers each individual life as well as a community. My goal is to utilize the arts as an educational tool for developing creative and critical thinking skills, collaboration, intellectual curiosity, personal discovery, and citizenship.
