Summer Art Program 2009

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.

Here's Why:

• Art stimulates both sides of the brain.
• Thirty percent of children are visual learners.
• Art enhances perceptual development.
• Children who experience art read better and do better in math and science.
• Art enhances self-esteem.
• Art helps develop hand-eye coordination.
• Children with early art and music training are better able to visualize complex mathematical problems and solve them creatively.
• Art develops awareness of the physical environment.
• Art teaches children to engage in creative problem solving and open-ended thinking.
