My Project

Our art room is bursting with creativity and students! With class sizes reaching fifty to sixty budding artists, space gets tight fast. Picture a masterpiece in progress and an accidental elbow bump turning it into modern art.

But here’s the exciting part.

We were recently gifted some gorgeous high-top tables that give us more room to spread out and create. Now we just need the perfect perches to go with them. These high top stools will give our students a comfy spot to sit, sketch, paint, and build, all while enjoying a little extra elbow room.

Our art students are some of the most talented in the city, and they deserve a space that supports their passion and potential. With just a dozen stools, we can make a huge difference in their day-to-day creative experience. Help us transform our classroom into a more functional, inviting studio for some seriously amazing young artists!
