Arts Bus Project Coordinator
Pamela Newman is the current coordinator of the Siskiyou Arts Bus Project (since 2005), actively designing art programs and interweaving the talents of local artists to share their knowledge and skills of the arts with Siskiyou County youth.
Your recurring financial donations help our youth programs flourish; they also sustain us. Donations of art supplies are also appreciated and allow children to express themselves in positive ways.
