Help Expand Creativity In The Art Club!

Help me give my students access to new art activities to explore creative possibilities and experiment with new art materials!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Audrey's classroom raised $315

My Project

The Art Club is in need of new art activities! Every Wednesday, I host Art Club in my classroom after school where students have a space to create the art that they love to do as well as try out fun new activities. We have an amazing group of students who come every week who are interested in trying something new. Unfortunately, we are in a district where funding for materials is limited and difficult to attain, which leads to me buying supplies with my own money.

I strive to create an art club where everyone is welcome, everyone can find something that they enjoy, and have a safe space to unwind, explore creative possibilities, and end their school day with some joy.

The art supplies that I am asking help with funding will help me achieve that goal!
