When the MIAMI DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS and the ARSHT CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS wanted a program that would be as exceptional as the Broadway touring productions that came through their venue, Douglas Love launched "Learning Through the Arts".
The program, now in its tenth year, brings every 5th grade student in Miami Dade County (25,000+ annually) to see a multi-million dollar rock musical production of the Odyssey - supported by curriculum from Love’s WORLD BOOK ENCYCLOPEDIA product.
When ORGANIC VALLEY - North America’s largest farmer-owned organic dairy – wanted to brand their name on a product to promote a meal tradition around the celebration of Earth Day, Douglas created a multi-media game promotion.
