🏫 School Programs

Art Education for Classrooms

We partner with public schools to bring hands-on, curriculum relevant art experiences directly to students. In 2025, we taught over 150 first and second graders in San Diego through our reclaimed art and seed paper workshops tied to Earth Day.

  • ✏️ In-class art workshops
  • 🌱 Eco-art (like recycled papermaking)
  • 🖼️ Group murals & student showcases
  • 📚 Curriculum-aligned activities

Why It Matters: Every child deserves access to creative exploration and self-expression.
