When we speak of art, a special world comes to mind—one capable of making the head spin, captivating the soul, taming the will, and setting the heart aflutter. Naturally, everyone wishes to learn more about the “cradles of culture” that create this world and about the mentors who shape talent and give wings to the heart. The answers to these questions can be found in children’s schools of arts located throughout our country. These centers may rightfully be called the first patrons of art, transforming the efforts of gifted children into a full-flowing river and guiding them from their first steps toward true mastery. It is worth recalling that most of the country’s renowned figures in the arts followed precisely this path.
