GCA KIT PROGRAM

The goal of the 'GCA Kits' program is to provide art programming to children in grades K - 6th who have limited access to the arts in their classroom/home. Through this program local educators/parents will be provided with art lessons, some basic supplies, and select tools so that they can provide their students/child with structured art projects to help them engage their creativity and grow their art-making skills.

DEADLINE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 24/25 SCHOOL YEAR IS AUGUST 31ST! Please read the guidelines below BEFORE enrolling!
