My students have created an amazing body of art but their work is only temporarily displayed within a just a few areas of our school. Our current art shows are mounted on paper-covered walls which often are quickly torn because of hallway traffic and lead to massive waste. By donating to this project, you will be providing cork board rolls, which will be used to create re-usable art show displays that are damage resistant and waste-free! In addition, you will be providing frames with mats so that student artwork can be professionally displayed within a school gallery. By ensuring that student art be professionally presented, you will also be validating their identities as artists and inspiring their peers to give art a try. When students feel celebrated for what they have worked hard to create, they become even more driven to repeat the cycle of accomplishment and that is our goal.
