Keeping Art Alive For School Children
Renae, Pennsylvania
Tell us a little about yourself!
I am a program director at a local arts council. I have always had a passion for art. I am currently working from home and caring for my children.
Tell us about your #MakeWaves project.
I want to make art kits available to school-aged children in our community.
What inspired your project and what impact would you like to make?
I hope to make an impact on school aged children. The lack of arts education being provided to students who are no longer in school due to Covid-19 inspired me for this project, as well as an inability of our local arts council to offer in person arts classes this summer.
I hope to offer these art kits as a precursor to offering online art classes with art kits in the summertime.

Art is essential.
