It’s that time of year again!
Fresh Artists is pleased to announce our annual grant cycle to give free art supplies to full-time art teachers in schools where 70% or more of the students qualify for Free and Reduced-price Lunches. We’ve been working all year, raising funds to provide new, quality art supply kits to fill your shelves, refresh your classroom, and make sure your students have supplies to create with.
This year, art teachers have the option to choose from 9 different themed Classroom Art Kits. As part of the application, each art teacher must also choose a second choice Classroom Art Kit, in case items are unavailable. A complete list of all the Classroom Art Kits is shown below, with their contents.
Be sure to use your preferred shipping address in your application. If your school is closed or has limited hours, please list your home address. This info is never shared or used for anything other than shipping your grants. We cannot be responsible for shipping issues due to closed buildings. No P.O. boxes.
