How We Help

Student Programs

We have created a range of imaginative, hands-on programs to engage kids in making art and in saving art in public schools.
Qualifying Schools & Programs

Most Fresh Artists programs are designed for kids in under-resourced schools, where financial support for programming and art supplies is severely limited. Schools that qualify are defined as <70% of students qualifying for Free or Reduced Lunch. Click to learn if your school qualifies and which programs might be right for your students.
