PHILIPSBURG:--- The National Institute of Arts received a new Windows 8 laptop on March 5, 2014 donated by Blue Point.

"Blue Point focuses on supporting the youth and works with organizations that can have a positive impact on young lives in our community," stated Nash Vashwani, Managing Director of Blue Point.
The National Institute of Arts brings the Arts to over 1200 students on St. Maarten, helping them discover their inner creativity and passion. Engaging the youth in the Arts helps to improve academic results and workforce opportunities, as well as community engagement. The Arts is also an essential part of passing on cultural traditions to the next generations. "The laptop is part of our ongoing effort to implement technology in managing the Arts", stated NIA Co-director Arlene Halley. At the NIA, technology is used to bring multimedia of the Arts into the classroom, viewing demonstrations of other works of art or following courses online. The National Institute of Arts is actively seeking sponsors or donors to assist in their technology quest upgrade. "There is so much to do done to really involve the youth in the Arts. We hope to develop more relationships in the community to help us to achieve this," stated Clara Reyes, Co-Director of the NIA. If you are interested in supporting the Arts, please contact the NIA today on how we can work together to achieving an avant-garde and innovative environment for the Arts on St. Maarten.
