Support Arts in Education
Help bring art to Students!
The Calaveras County Arts Council has a mission to support arts in our public schools. In 2019 our fundraising event Ride & Walk 4 Art raised nearly $6,000; all of the money is earmarked for arts in our public schools.
Sadly, this year we had to cancel Ride & Walk 4 Art due to the Covid-19 emergency. Happily, most of you said, "keep our registration money!" We thank you for your generosity.
But we have fallen far short of our goal of matching last year's contributions. And this upcoming year, our kids will need the arts more than ever as they return to school and try to navigate this new world we live in.
Your contributions help pay for many things: art supplies for classes, visiting artists, school theater projects, art days at elementary schools.
But most importantly, your contributions help kids make sense of their lives as they learn critical real world skills like creative thinking, resilience, problem solving, and project management. Studies show that children with access to the arts fare better in school and life.
You can give the gift of art to a child. Please donate on Giving Tuesday, or any other day. We thank you for your generosity.
