Hurley Richards' "Fine Arts Literacy Cultural Center" introduces young students to classic literature and the fine arts. By exploring different literary genres, students are exposed to the greatest thinkers of every age and culture. The broad emphasis on fine arts teaches art history and culture, aesthetic perception, creative expression, and art criticism. Relevant field trips to museums, theatres, and concerts are included, along with hands-on workshops and labs. By encouraging reading, writing, and verbal discipline, the program improves students' test scores and their abilities to become stronger thinkers.
