Our mission goes beyond just nurturing the next generation of artists. We believe a high-quality visual arts education enriches lives, fostering critical thinking, emotional well-being, and community engagement. Art isn’t a luxury; it’s a vital part of a well-rounded education.
We advocate for equitable access, making sure every community is a place where critical thinkers, empathetic citizens, inspired learners, and, yes, budding artists can flourish.
To reduce barriers to access, we offer our content virtually for free so that teachers anywhere can access it.

*Citation: In 2021, we saw 552 educators do a project on our website. If each these educators has just an average size class, we supported 11,592 students. When you factor in that some of these educators are art teachers, working with multiple classes, our impact is even greater.
