Help Us with Our Set Design for Our First Musical!
Funded Jan 22, 2025I wanted to sincerely thank you for your donations. The children who worked on creating a backdrop of an African Savannah for our musical were truly inspired by the project. They were so motivated and excited to paint a canvas that was six yards wide! It was an incredible learning experience for them, and they were filled with pride as they watched their hard work come to life.
What they accomplished was nothing short of amazing, and the joy they felt from the experience is something they will carry with them for a lifetime. Your contributions provided them with a unique opportunity that not only helped bring our musical to life but also left a lasting impact on the children who worked so hard on the backdrop.
Once again, thank you for giving our children the chance to be part of something so special. We are deeply appreciative of your support and generosity.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Someone who cares about New York City and 3 other donors.Help Keep Art Alive During Covid!
Funded Nov 25, 2020Thank you so much for your generous donation of art materials for my students! Since the children aren't allowed to share materials during this pandemic, they were so grateful and excited to have their own materials so they could continue painting and creating collages. They were so appreciative that you cared about their artistic endeavors. The kindergarten children created family collages inspired by Faith Ringgold, the first graders created collages inspired by Alma Thomas, and the fifth graders painted self-portraits inspired by Tawny Chatmon. Once again, thank you so much for helping these children to continue having meaningful experiences in art!”

This classroom project was brought to life by J.Crew.Art Supplies for Our Emerging Picassos!
Funded Dec 25, 2018I just wanted to show my gratitude for your generous donations!! Thank you so much for giving my students the opportunity to experiment and explore these new materials. They absolutely loved the experience of applying water to their oil pastels! It was like magic to them watching the colors naturally mix and blend like paint. They have been using regular oil pastels for years now and these new water soluble oil pastels added a completely new dimension to their art experience. Thank you for being supportive of their artistic development!”

Help Get Our Art Off The Floor!
Funded Mar 9, 2016We would sincerely and enthusiastically like to thank you so much for your donation!!! Our portfolio cabinet arrived and it has already made such an impact. The students are excited that our room has become more of an art studio. The cabinet has also created a lot of space in our room! The clear and open space sends an inspiring message that there is room here for them to fill this space with your thoughts, ideas, and creativity. The art studio is often thought of as a private space that encourages and promotes room for thought and exploration. An inviting and appropriate space to create art is critical to aesthetic development and evolution of thought and ideas.
Thank you for contributing to our children's artistic development. They feel special that you thought of them and their needs. Your donation has energized and inspired our students to create art!”

The portfolios are perfect and very durable, which is exactly what we needed. The students really respect their artwork more than ever.
