My Project

If funded, my art students will create beautiful works of art to make the world a better place. They will use the canvas, paints, easels, and tables to create their art. The world needs creative people and the world also needs outlets for people to express themselves. These supplies will help the youth of our future in their creative endeavors. Please donate if you can, anything will help us. My art students are hungry and motivated to make their mark in the art world. These paints and brushes will help them tremendously. Again, help us if you can, and we will do our best to make you proud.
