2010 Fresh Artists Grants Top $100,300!
We have just completed the second annual delivery of art supplies to Philadelphia public schools. Added to last year’s grants, we have now exceeded delivering the retail value of $100,300 in much-needed art supplies to 265 severely under-resourced K-12 public schools!
Art teachers thrilled with supplies to freshen up their shelves!
This year Fresh Artists streamlined the delivery process by creating Art Kits from data obtained from last year’s orders and a questionnaire asking art teachers exactly what they most needed. Twenty-four themed kits were created, all exactly of the same value. Teachers simply applied for a grant on our website, specifying the Art Kit they needed. The delivery was simplified as well, with the Art Kits available to teachers on three pick-up dates at the School District’s central loading dock.
