Artists from our local communities will visit high schools. They will talk to the students about their work, what it means to them, what they are trying to express. The students will be able to borrow mounted prints of the artists' artworks for 3 months. When they return the prints, these can be lent to more students.
Contact high schools and artists to nail down details and secure dates in the fall. By June 30.
Produce accompanying hand outs with text about artists and the arts. By July 30
Produce prints. By Aug 15.
Schedule sessions where students meet the artists and borrow the work. Sept 15 - Dec 15, 2022
The artwork is relevant to our communities, and can bring meaning and enjoyment in the home. Studies have proven that having artworks in the home improves students' performance in school.
Museums and art galleries can be intimidating. This brings art into the home, and can prompt students and their families to feel more familiar about art, creating a culture of enjoying visual arts.
It's rewarding to artists to have their works seen broadly by people in the community.
