The Arts Smarts program is run by parent volunteers. Through our periodic classroom projects, we enrich our children’s understanding of artists and their work, while helping them to explore and express their own artistic style.

We hope to arouse the children’s curiosity, get them excited about art, foster creativity and - above all - have fun!
