Supporting Artists
When artists collaborate with students and teachers, amazing things can happen.
Artists offer much more than practical skills in the arts — they foster a unique approach to thinking, learning and looking at the world.
ArtStarts supports artists in all disciplines by helping establish connections between the worlds of art and education, building artists' capacity to work in schools, offering grants that support creative projects and more.
