Since 1993, Cognizart by MetroArts Inc. has championed the vital importance of arts education in children's development.  Under the passionate leadership of our Executive Director Shannon Emory, our teaching for creativity programs ignite children's natural creativity, well-being, and self-confidence while also playing a role in social inclusion. 

Over our 30-year history, we have positively impacted the lives of thousands of children.  We have devoted much of our efforts to delivering scholarships and free artistic opportunities to children from underserved communities. At our core, we are an educational organization shaping minds through the arts.
