Good afternoon Visual Arts parents, guardians, students and supporters!

North Texas Giving Day is tomorrow - Thursday, September 19. It is one of our largest fundraisers and helps us provide programs, resources and supplies to our faculty and students. Our 2024 goal is $15,000, which would enable us to:

• Replace art horses 
• Update tables in the Fab Lab
• Provide scholarships to five seniors
• Provide $150 student grants to offset costs of school-related projects
• Offset the costs of student and faculty supply lists

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE DONATED TO OUR CAMPAIGN OR SHARED OUR PROFILE. 

Please share our campaign link with your friends, family and anyone who supports the arts in North Texas (and who doesn't!!!).
