Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

In today's rapidly evolving world, creativity and artistic expression play a crucial role in shaping our society. Recognizing the potential of young talents, it is imperative to support and nurture their artistic aspirations. This fundraising initiative is specifically designed for middle schoolers interested in becoming professional artists. By empowering these young individuals, we can foster a new generation of creative minds and contribute to a vibrant artistic landscape.

Middle school can be a formative period for students, during which their interests and passions begin to take shape.

Identifying and supporting artistic talents at this stage can have a transformative impact on their future careers. Fundraising efforts can help provide the necessary resources, mentorship opportunities, and exposure to art-related experiences that are essential for their growth.
