My Project

How do you create successful and confident artists? With endless quantities of their favorite materials!!!

With over 100 students visiting my art studio each day, it is absolutely astounding how quickly the classroom materials are consumed by our passionate artists!

We are in need of a refill of our all-time favorites...high-quality drawing paper, beads, tape, foam shapes, water color paints, and more! With your donations we can continue to explore and expand our skills, increase our confidence, and deepen our excitement to create more incredible works of art each day!
