<![CDATA[As aspiring educators, pre-service students in the PPG Arts and Culture Program play a pivotal role in sustaining and innovating local artistic traditions. Yet, gaps in both theoretical and practical mastery remain evident. To bridge this divide, a specialized training program was implemented to elevate the professional expertise of PPG UNM students in local artistic creation—spanning dance, theater, and two- and three-dimensional visual arts. Post-intervention assessments revealed marked advancements in participants’ conceptual grasp and technical execution across diverse local art forms.

This initiative underscores the transformative potential of structured pedagogy in fostering culturally anchored artistic proficiency among future arts educators.]]>
