Mission
TO EMPOWER K-12 CHILDREN AS PHILANTHROPISTS AND CHANGEMAKERS THROUGH THEIR ART. TO ADVOCATE FOR QUALITY PUBLIC EDUCATION BY DISPLAYING CHILDREN'S ART IN HIGHLY VISIBLE AND UNEXPECTED PLACES. TO DELIVER ART SUPPLIES AND INNOVATIVE ART PROGRAMS TO SEVERLY UNDERFUNDED PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Program accomplishments
- THIS YEAR FRESH ARTISTS DELIVERED ESSENTIAL ART MATERIALS AND INNOVATIVE ART PROGRAMS TO 175 TEACHERS ACROSS 34 STATES - IMPACTING MORE THAN 45,000 K-12 CHILDREN. THE ART TEACHERS WE SERVE WERE PROVIDED WITH LITTLE TO NO BUDGET FOR ART MATERIALS. THEY TEACH IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS WHERE 70-100% OF THE CHILDREN LIVE AT OR BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL, MAKING IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR FAMILIES TO PROVIDE THEIR OWN CONSUMABLE SUPPLIES FOR ART CLASSES OR PAY FOR OUT-OF-SCHOOL TIME ART PROGRAMS. FRESH ARTISTS INVITES GENEROUS AND TALENTED CHILDREN TO DONATE ARTWORK TO OUR CORPORATE COLLECTION TO HELP OTHER CHILDREN ACCESS ART EDUCATION. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO OUR GENEROUS ADULT AND CHILD DONORS FOR HELPING FRESH ARTISTS PROVIDE YOUNG PEOPLE WITH CRITICALLY NEEDED ART MATERIALS AND PROGRAMS VITAL TO A CHILD'S SELF-EXPRESSION, SELF-ESTEEM, AND SKILL-BUILDING NEEDED FOR LIFELONG SUCCESS!Expenses $1,006,036
