Bringing students creative and imaginitive school-wide art projects
ArtReach offers a visual art experience to children in grades K-6. The ArtReach team tailors programs to the individual needs of each school, focusing on collaboration, creativity and skill building. Teams of ArtReach teaching artists visit schools and provide hands-on instruction for every grade level on the campus. The program culminates in a celebration of art that invites families to view completed art work and participate in a collaborative art experience as well.
ArtReach, a program affiliated with ArtWalk, is a 501(c)-3 nonprofit corporation in formation.
Our first elementary school program takes place in November 2007 at Garfield Elementary School. Read the press release for more info.
