We believe in the power of art to transform lives and enrich communities. Today, we’re thrilled to share a milestone achievement that aligns perfectly with this mission – the permanent donation of up to 90% of our art collection to schools and community spaces!
This legacy project signifies our commitment to fostering artistic expression and vibrant learning environments nationwide.
Over the past 12+ years, we’ve partnered with countless schools, leaving a lasting impact through our Shared Walls program. With this donation, those schools can proudly display their existing artwork collections for years to come.
What does this mean for educators and students?
Enriched Learning Environments: Stunning artwork serves as a constant source of inspiration, sparking creativity and critical thinking.
Expanded Access to Art: This initiative ensures that schools have access to high-quality art, regardless of budget limitations.
Celebrating Artistic Diversity: The donated collection encompasses a wide range of styles and artists, fostering inclusivity and cultural awareness.
But our commitment doesn’t stop there! In addition to the art donation, we remain committed to providing our online tools and resources, hosting art workshops at your schools, offering teacher professional development events, organizing art supply giveaways, and introducing some exciting new initiatives—such as a grant specifically designed for art teachers!
Be sure to stay tuned to future emails where we will provide info on how to apply for our new Teacher Grant!
