We believe art and creative practice play a crucial role in human development and are an essential part of education for all. To that end, we provide access to free and discounted visual art programs for Title I elementary schools that lack the financial resources to fund a visual arts program for their students.
Schools Receive
- 10 days of visual art workshops for 3-4 classrooms per day
- Standards-based, skill-building visual arts lessons in a variety of media
- 2 years at no cost, access to reduced rates for subsequent years
- Curriculum and Presentations for continued use after the program
- Professional Teaching Artists and all program materials provided
- Ongoing program support and partnership
What to Expect
- If our schedule is full, we will place you on a waitlist and reach out when we have a spot available
- Additional participating classrooms or extra workshops may be added at a reduced fee
- All San Diego County schools with a Title I designation are eligible for discounted rates
- Your school selects participating classrooms/grade levels
