My Project

Our middle school art club needs supplies! We are a small school in a rural location with high poverty, and it can be difficult to get the supplies we need for students to stretch their creative wings or to explore something new. Engaging in creative and visual arts is so good for student mental health, but students don't always have access to the art room.

In Art Club, any student can get creative, even if they aren't currently in art class.

Having access to supplies and tools means they can sculpt, paint, draw, and more. Being able to have the right paint, brush, and an easy way to clean them makes painting in the classroom so much easier and fun. These supplies will help us create appropriate spaces for these activities outside of the art room, so that more students can engage in the arts during the week.
