Russell Granet started Arts Education Resource after seventeen years of working with New York City non-profits.  His most recent position was at the Center for Arts Education (CAE): The NYC Annenberg Challenge for Arts Education.  CAE’s primary mission is to restore, stimulate, and sustain quality arts education as an essential part of every child’s education.  He joined CAE in 1998 and held the position of Director of Professional Development and Peer Exchange until starting Arts Education Resource in 2007.  He worked closely with the NYC Department’s of Education and Cultural Affairs as well as the United Federation of Teachers.  He was responsible for developing workshops on arts assessment and integration, partnership and collaboration, and, in association with the Annenberg Institute, created a leadership institute for principals.  Prior to joining CAE, he was the Director of Education at The American Place Theatre.  Russell’s career has been greatly influenced by working closely with NYC special education teachers while working as a teaching artist with New York University’s Creative Arts Team.  Working with students with disabilities remains a personal passion.  He has been on faculty for VSA arts for their national and international arts institutes.  His work in arts education has taken him throughout the United States, and internationally to Egypt, England, India, Kenya, Tanzania, and Turkey.  His academic career started upon completion of his graduate studies at New York University where he created the course Drama in the Special Education Classroom.  He has been an adjunct at the City University of New York and the College of Mount St. Vincent.  Additionally, he has consulted for school districts, public and independent schools, and many of the leading cultural and arts institutes locally, nationally, and internationally.  He has served as an arts panelist, commencement and keynote speaker, and conference presenter.
