My Students

Our students have experienced positive and negative circumstances throughout their lives. They live in a community with an 83% poverty rate and a rapidly growing rate of criminal activity. Our students are resilient, despite the enormous amount of obstacles they face outside of school. They are proud of their school environment and even prouder of their ability to visually communicate their experiences.

Our school's annual fine art exhibition allows students to share their stories with not only the school, but also the community.

They accomplish this through aesthetically pleasing artwork that continues to impress all who view it. Each year we, as art educators, strive to make it better for our students. This year we'd like to be able to add artwork, due to our large population, but more space is needed to exhibit their amazing artwork.

My Project

Our Fine Art Department creates a space for our students to exhibit their work. This annual exhibit takes place at the end of the year. We have many pieces and young artists we'd like to display, but we currently do not have enough physical space to showcase all the wonderful work.

With the addition of these portable walls, we will be able to hang more artwork for our community to see!

This show is so important to our school and all who are able to experience it, as viewers are able to connect to many of the images they see.

It is our hope that these walls will create a flow to the show that will bring in more of the community. Also to make more of our young artists experience the power of their artistic voice.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
