Help me give my students access to essential art supplies—paint, brushes, oil pastels, and a paper organizer—that will inspire creativity, self-expression, and a deeper appreciation for the visual arts.
Art is a powerful tool for self-expression, creativity, and emotional growth. My students are eager to explore their imaginations, but we currently lack the basic materials to bring their ideas to life. With your support, I am hoping to provide them with essential art supplies including paint, brushes, oil pastels, and a paper organizer to keep our space functional and inspiring. These materials will allow students to experiment with color, texture, and technique in ways that deepen their understanding and appreciation of visual arts. Your contribution will help create a classroom environment where creativity thrives and every child feels empowered to express themselves through art.
More than half of students from low‑income households
