Kids Art Smart for Virginia Peterson Elementary School

December 5 - 8, 2013

Kids Art Smart for Virginia Peterson Elementary School

December 5 - 8, 2013
Classroom Gallery

An exhibition of over 450 works of art created by Virginia Peterson Elementary School students during their Fall 2013 visits to Studios on the Park through the Kids Art Smart program.

To date, this life-changing program has served more than 4,000 children from Paso Robles Elementary Schools. Many of these students are low-income and at-risk and receive no formal arts education. The result is a lost opportunity to develop creative thinking and personal expression. To ensure all students can participate, Studios on the Park provides every field trip fro free. Exhibits at Studios on the Park honor participating students in a professional gallery setting and allow families and the public to see the incredible creations of these talented youngsters!

If you are interested in ensuring that local children can experience the joy of art in 2014, please email sasha@studiosonthepark.org or call 805.238.9800.
