Mosaic Edutainment, Arts over ACEs and the Story Quilts Project
Mosaic Edutainment
These interactive lecture performances are designed to build character and teach lessons about music history & theory. Each workshop is performed live by our talented CEO, the award-winning jazz entertainer Kathy Wade.
Black Anthology of Music
Learning Through Art, Inc. presents A Black Anthology of Music (BAM), a historical exploration of the origins of American classical music, JAZZ. The program is a mix of lecture and performance with music from legendary jazz artists to demonstrate their influence on today’s current musical trends including ‘Rap’.
Rhythms... Common Bonds
Rhythms ... Common Bonds begins with listening to rhythms. The first rhythm in our lives is the human heartbeat, which thousands of years ago was first expressed by the beating of the drum. The drum became an integral means of communication between people who lived great distances apart.
Textural Rhythms:
Hear The Touch
A musical cocoon envelops the audience to see, hear and touch the textural rhythms of Jazz. International award-winning jazz entertainer Kathy Wade takes the 'art off the walls and onto the stage' through this interactive multi-media musical presentation.

LTA elevates ARTS Over ACEs
Learning Through Art. provides its programming to help mitigate the lasting impacts ACEs have on children's well-being and educational attainment by engaging the whole family in arts-based programming that strengthens parent-child relationships and builds literacy and life skills.
Our ACEs programming utilizes the Books Alive! For Kids® performing arts literacy programs and Family Literacy Nights to provide tools that help children and families become more resilient and overcome barriers, building stronger families while improving literacy outcomes through sight, sound and touch.
What Are ACEs?
ACEs stands for adverse childhood experiences. These can include factors like poverty, abuse, and homelessness.
Our Logic Model:
Story Quilts Project
Story Quilts engages participants to share their truths from the patchwork of their lives, weaving stories creating a tapestry of reconciliation and resilience. Story Quilts provides a platform for LTA’s Arts Over ACEs Center (Adverse Childhood Experiences), to bring visual, craft and performance art together as a foundation to guide honest and open community conversations about systemic racism and social justice – leading to truth-telling and finding reconciliation in hopes of building more resilient people and communities.
The project's creator, Kathy Wade, feels that, “Like so many cities in America, Cincinnati needs to come together to have a collective conversation about race and racism that can help us confront our difficult truths and find a way forward – to chart a future that is defined by truth, justice, and healing. I believe Story Quilts can help us do this, and after the pain that so much of this nation felt during the Summer of 2020, I believe this project can help us put Cincinnati and other cities on a path toward healing - and meaningful action - in 2021 and beyond.”
