The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." - Picasso We are blessed. In more ways than we can list, or even realize, we are blessed. But one thing we do fully realize is that not every child has the opportunity to have an art-themed birthday party or private art lessons or even to experience art at their school. That is why we work with area schools, especially schools whose children do not have other art opportunities, to bring an art experience to children. Through our "Art in Schools" program, our hope is that the seed will be planted and a desire created in children who possess natural talent and have children see that art can benefit their lives as they grow and into adulthood. We live in a great country where one can grow up to live their dream; sometimes all it takes is knowing what to dream.
