Lincoln Center Institute for the Arts in Education, New York
The Lincoln
Center Institute was founded in 1975 to create a new approach to arts
and education that would make the arts integral to learning. Far more
than traditional arts appreciation, the Institute's practice is rooted
in collaboration between artists and teachers that provides students
with hands-on opportunities to explore and understand the arts. Students
see live performances and engage in creative and analytical exploration
that, in turn, supports learning across the curriculum.

history can be found at http://www.carts.org/.
