Research shows participation in the arts is tied to positive outcomes ranging from greater self-esteem to rates of college attendance. But fifty percent of the lowest income elementary schools lack an arts classroom, indicating an opportunity gap in arts education. BGCAs aim to close that gap by providing equitable access to arts experiences to help youth achieve great futures.<\/p>\n<p>Old Navy is committed to creating a better future for future generations through The Imagine Mission (OldNavy.ca\/Imagine) and has partnered with BGCA and BGCC for decades to provide opportunities for kids that need them the most. In addition to funding ongoing arts education, Old Navy\u2019s donation will also underwrite BGCA\u2019s National Arts Contest which recognizes young artists and their accomplishments in visual, digital and performing arts.<\/p>\n<p>Old Navy will continue to announce upcoming Project WE artist collaborations throughout the year as part of its mission to imagine a better future through art.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Old Navy<\/b><br \/>\nOld Navy is a global apparel and accessories brand that makes current American essentials accessible to every family.
