Art Vistas for 2020 - Distance Learning style
2020 has definitely been a challenging year for everyone. Hope everyone is doing well and has adjusted to the Distance Learning over the last months. Over the summer we moved out of our office and moved into a classroom at Dartmouth Middle School. We've also been busy adjusting our lessons and recording them so they can be offered to every students in the Union School District and beyond! Pandemic or no pandemic, we are here to deliver creative outlets for our children. Please stay tuned for more information from the head docents of your school!

Our Mission
We are a nonprofit, volunteer-lead organization delivering the finest art education to Kindergarten through 8th grade classrooms. Our multifaceted curriculum exposes students to art history and technique. By engaging in critical thinking, cultural exposure, open dialogue, and artistic experimentation, we grow creative skills and confidence.
We currently make art education available to more than 5,800 students in Union School District (creating more than 28,000 pieces of art each year), as well as surrounding school districts. Studies have shown that visual arts education helps elementary school children develop important motor, language, and social skills at a young age, and at later ages, helps students to perform better in other academic subjects, manage stress, motivate attendance and increase graduation rates.
However, there are many children who do not have opportunities for art education across the U.S.
Join us on our mission to bring the joy of art and grow creative confidence in children, everywhere.
Your gift will help us reach more children and provide opportunity for art they all deserve. Thanks for making a difference!
