“Art Forward” is a new art and mentoring program for high school students, scheduled for 2022. With foundation financial support, we will offer interested high school students free after-school art instruction, coupled with presentations from adult artists and other professionals in the creative economy. These mentors will share the challenges and rewards of their chosen career paths and help students shape their own trajectories moving forward.

 

We need your help to make this happen! To receive funding, we must show that the community supports the idea. Therefore we’re asking for donations large or small - even a modest $10 contribution will help us demonstrate to grant-makers that people believe in this idea. Your funds will go to support art supplies, instructor fees, and similar operating costs. (And if you or someone you know might be a suitable mentor, please let us know by an email to [email protected], with the subject line “Art Forward mentor.”)
