Arts for Learning has helped thousands of students and teachers keep classrooms creative since 2000.  With over 100 different programs in locations all over Miami-Dade County, children of all ages and incomes have the chance to use music, dance, poetry, theatre, painting and more to learn about the world around them.

According to Executive Director Sheila Womble, Arts for Learning exists as a resource for teachers and students to use art as a teaching medium.

“Our true mission is to advance teaching and learning in and through the arts,” she explained.

Duck Testicles Need Not Apply
Jennifer Rubell’s Real Life Entertaining Sticks to Real Life Recipes

“Well, they don’t taste like chicken,” Jennifer Rubell says of duck testicles, which she recently ate at pal Mario Battalia’s New York restaurant.  “In texture they’re closest to liver, but they’re not bad.  They were sauced so I couldn’t get the full flavor.” 

While Rubell has eaten the exotic dish, it’s not the kind of food she’d ever serve.  Just as the title of her new book, Real Life Entertaining, says, Rubell is more interested in cozy, homey, and most of all, easy food that will get a host or hostess in and out of the kitchen to spend time with friends and family.
