THE ART SUPPLY DRIVE ENDS AUGUST 31ST!!!
SEE GREAT ART AND...
LOOK FOR THE RED BINS
ON THE WESTSIDE
TCP and The Addo Foundation present a citywide Summer Art Supply Drive
Continuing throughout the summer local businesses and galleries will be uniting through a common cause to raise art supplies for TCP's Community Arts Program (CAP) outreach initiatives. CAP's focus is on mentoring "at-risk" youth through the arts. CAP's upcoming outreach will target programs that may not have arts education, and that struggle with resources.
Our 2011-2012 outreach will benefit the youth artists of One Love Generation, Jacob's Ladder, and the Georgia Justice Project
MAKE A DIFFERENCE, GET INVOLVED
The heat is on! Come inside and enjoy some art
during Saturday's Westside Art Walk.
FINAL CALL FOR ART SUPPLY DONATIONS! >>>
THE CREATIVES PROJECT ART SUPPLY DRIVE
We've been collecting art supplies all summer long - this is our Last Call! Drop off new and used art supplies to benefit young artists in need at any of the Westside Arts District participating galleries. Just look for the red bins! This year the focus is on 2D art work - so we're collecting items for drawing, painting, printmaking photography as well as miscellaneous items such as glue, glue sticks, scissors, rulers, matt boards, tape, etc. You get the idea!
