GRANTS IN ACTION! A GACF Education Cycle grant supported a new kiln for the Baldwin Heights art room. The grant was funded by the Tom and Chris Kohn Family Fund and the Grace M. Sagendorf Education Fund. Here’s to a new school year filled with fun, learning, and many creative clay creations!

Baldwin Heights’ Art Room received the most exciting delivery today!!! Thank you Greenville Area Community Foundation for supporting our artists and our art program!!!
I am hoping that the kiln will be fired up with student art work in mid to late October!
