ARTreach has announced the receipt of $30,000 in individual gifts to help serve at-risk children and adults with special needs in the Katy, Houston and Fort Bend County areas for 2010.
Thanks to the funding, ARTreach is able to accept applications for new projects at underserved schools in Katy ISD.
New and Title I schools can apply for library mural projects or Mentoring Through Art programs funded by ARTreach.
Mural projects are unique and designed by ARTreach muralist Vickie McMillan to the specifications of applying campuses.
Facilities and campuses serving children in need may also apply for Mentoring Through Art Workshops and ARTreach SMART Programs that combine science and math curriculum with art based learning practices. The programs promote social skills development and support education and graduation.
ARTreach Programs serving children at risk are available to individual school campuses, residential treatment centers, juvenile detention centers, crisis centers, domestic abuse centers, hospitals, rehabilitation and recovery centers. Up to 80 percent funding is available to support needy schools.
Projects can be implemented as early as Feb. 1, 2010.
To learn more or apply for support, call 281-391-5341, e-mail infor@artreachonline.org or visit the ARTreach website at www.artreachonline.org.
