My Project
They really want to paint! I’ve been teaching for over 17 years and have never seen a more talented group of students than here at my school. Enrollment is based on a successful audition and prior academic performance.
I absolutely love these kids!
Their skill and creativity far exceed their age. Not only do we want to prepare them for college, but for a long and successful professional career in the arts.
Your donation will allow them to explore their creativity and enhance their mastery of working in oil and watercolor painting, with Japanese watercolors, brush washers, brush cleaners, brushes, and more.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
