ART CLUB is a special year-round program to engage students in self-development. ART CLUB nurtures creativity, collaboration, communication, and citizenship. ART CLUB meets the second Saturday of each month to explore issues affecting students’ lives and the world around them. The underlying premise of this program is “Art + issue = Change”. Students enroll initially as 3rd graders and may continue to participate year after year. To learn more, email Sonja.brooks@art4edu.org

Art Club members made wreaths to be given to family members of victims of gun violence. The wreaths feature the color orange, which hunters wear in the woods to protect themselves and others. For the nationwide movement to honor all lives cut short by gun violence, orange is a celebration of life – and a call to action to help save lives from gunfire.
