My Project

Inspiring Young Artists: Black History Month & Spring Art Show

Help our young artists celebrate Black History Month and showcase their talents in our annual Spring Art Show!

As a Title I school, many of our students lack access to quality art supplies. Your support will provide them with the materials they need to create meaningful artwork that honors Black artists, culture, and history while preparing for their big moment in the art show.

Project Description:

Our students are eager to express themselves through art, but limited resources make it difficult for them to fully explore their creativity. In addition, our annual Spring Art Show "Storytelling" is a highlight of the year, giving students the chance to proudly display their work for families and the community. We need essential art supplies—paint, brushes, construction paper, and markers—to make these projects possible.

Your generosity will empower our young artists, build confidence, and ensure every child has the opportunity to participate in these enriching experiences. Thank you for supporting creativity, diversity, and student success!
