Public schools & our camp programs need your help!

Art 4 Children Inc reaches almost 1,500 young artists a month via travelling art teachers, programs and our seasonal camps. The teachers that work in our programs need supplies so we can keep costs low. We are in need of donations from local companies, families both big and small who throw away items I could use for crafts or drawing lessons.

Here is a list of art supplies that come to mind:

paint: craft, fabric, acrylic - any kind but oil
oil pastels
crayola markers
brushes white, colored
texture or scrap paper pencils
thin/thick permanent markers (black/color)
glue bottles/sticks
rubber cement crayons

Here is a list of everyday household items (clean or unused please):

scrap paper
bottles (plastic/glass)
shoe boxes
books & Magazines used for references or collages: (no gossip mags)
fabric, ribbons, buttons

PUBLIC schools have no art!

With the help of donations we can provide more scholarships and keep our program and camp prices the lowest in the city. If you or your company can help me by donating anything that could be used for a craft or lesson, please email me. I will come pick it up. AND!!! It's tax deductible!

Art4Children art classes help children to:

Develop skills of observation
Promote creativity
Develop problem solving skills
Work in groups both socially and artistically
Increase self esteem and confidence
Improve dexterity

We all know how important an art education is to a child's well being and sense of self. Once children can feel confident with expressing themselves creatively, their world becomes a more colorful place.

There is power in creativity.
